Coping During COVID-19: Children and Trauma

COVID-19 has disrupted communities across our region. PBS39 hosted a conversation on how the pandemic is affecting our children and families. The program focused on how our children’s culture and mental health have been impacted. We discussed how families and organizations are working to build resilience, how they’re addressing barriers to equitable access and reducing the adverse effects of this global crisis. This statewide special was hosted by Reporter Corps® journalist Ben Stemrich on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. Watch the full broadcast below.
