As the new school year approaches amid a global pandemic, it is no surprise that many teachers, parents, and children, still reeling from the coronavirus shutdowns, are feeling anxious.
To help start the school year strong, the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County is hosting a free virtual seminar, “Healing Self, Families and Communities,” featuring Alisha De Lorenzo, an education and mental health specialist. The program will take place via Zoom.
De Lorenzo, a licensed professional counselor who provides education and mental health support services to school districts throughout New Jersey, will discuss the impacts of stress and share tools and techniques for self-care and caring for children in the seminar.
Registration for the seminar, which will include a Q&A session, is available here. Participants are welcome to submit questions in advance via e-mail to lwagner@ymcanj.org.
