Family Support Group: Transitioning Back To School In the Era of COVID 19

Presented by Dr. Justin Misurell

May 19, 2021 at 3:00 PM

COVID 19 has brought many changes to how we navigate our daily lives not only at home and businesses but also in schools. Prior to the pandemic, schools did not require masks, and social distancing and regular temperature checks were unheard of. However, today these protocols have become standard operating procedures in schools. Couple this with the prolonged stress and anxiety from the pandemic, those living with TS and the associated disorders have additional challenges.

In this session, families will learn ways for making the transition back to school smoother, and find out how they can support their children emotionally.
