California Surgeon General’s Playbook: Stress Relief for Caregivers and Kids during COVID-19

From the Office of the Surgeon General of CA:

NAVIGATING STRESS MANAGEMENT WITH KIDS

Many of us are feeling a lot of stress right now. Even for adults, it can be tough to recognize that what we feel as irritability, difficulty focusing, insomnia or changes in appetite can actually be signs that are bodies are feeling the effects of stress. For kids, no matter the age, their brains and bodies are even more vulnerable to the harmful effects of stress than adults, and most often, they aren’t able recognize or verbalize it. Stress in kids may show up differently than our stress as adults does. This Stress-Busting Playbook can help you understand what to look out for and what you can do to protect your family’s health.

You can find the entire playbook by clicking here:
