Share
Between remote learning, isolation from friends, and a steady stream of difficult news, life in the pandemic has been especially hard for many children. Jeanne Blake, the president of Blake Works whose firm developed a new digital series called The Pandemic and Kids Mental Health, says she has heard a consistent message of loss, isolation and despair this year from kids.
Blake and Dr. Paula Rauch, a psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, joined Jim Braude on
Greater Boston to discuss the challenges facing kids during re-opening, especially younger children, and how parents can help them build resilience.
