For many people providing child care and for those supporting them, the COVID-19 pandemic has been incredibly stressful. You have been coping with frazzled and worried parents, anxious and often times overwhelmed children, loss of work, loss of income, multiple new guidelines and rules at childcare…..the list goes on and on.
Listening circles provide an opportunity for you to be heard. After a brief mindfulness exercise, and going over some ground rules, you will be able to reflect and voice how this experience has been for you. What have you been thinking and feeling as the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold? Each person in the listening circle will be able to respond to 4 questions. The other handful of participants will simply listen. This is an opportunity to share with the purpose of listening, storytelling, and connecting.
Specially trained public health nurses from Snohomish Health District will facilitate the process. Practice some self-care and come participate with us over Zoom.
Space is limited to 15 participants per session.
