This week on the podcast we talk to our good friend Dr. Dana Dorfman, a New York City psychotherapist with over 28 years of experience and a passion for mental health education and awareness. Dana offers great insight into how our global pandemic impacts both children as well as parents. She shares her unique perspective on how we can help children and adolescents with the challenges they face while dealing with remote learning, isolation, and new family dynamics. She talks about the stages many of us are traversing from shock into the anxious uncertainty of when life will return back to normal and gives us hope by reminding us of the value of staying present. Lastly, in our own version of Show and Tell, check out the end of our podcast where we share what we are into or what we have recently learned this week. Listen in and join us in creating a community of mindful and connected educators one classroom at a time. We wish you the space and grace you need to remain in good health, body, mind, and spirit.
