Now More than Ever…

While we all are finding our own way through this current COVID-19 crisis, over and over again we are seeing how people are rising to the occasion—helping each other, sharing, checking in on elderly neighbors and spending more quality time with their families. That’s the strange gift in all of this, that in times of great need our true character has a time to shine like no other.

The word “crises” comes from the Greek, where it means “to separate, to sift, to sort” or otherwise keep what is essential. Indeed, these times are challenging us, calling us to now focus on our humanity—to be more human than ever, to cast off the non-essential.

We have had so many emails and calls requesting our advice and assistance. And as during so many other challenging times in our lives, the answers often appear right in front of us. In our case, what we have to give, to help with, is our life’s work of supporting the health and wellness of schools, families and health professionals. So, to keep in touch with our tips and tools, sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page to receive those free resources.

All of our courses qualify for professional development hours and graduate credit. Just click on View Course for more information or go to our Calendar Page for a complete listing of all available courses. Contact us at [email protected] for more info.)

For together we can do great things!
