Staying Resilient During COVID-19
- In response to the COVID 19 Pandemic, Rogers' InHealth staff have translated the strategies from compassion resilience into the context of this pandemic. There are nine unique blogs around and videos on Staying Resilient During COVID-19.
- WISE and Rogers’ InHealth have also launched the Parents and Caregivers Compassion Resilience Toolkit. You can find the Toolkit at https://compassionresiliencetoolkit.org/. This Toolkit is organized for a facilitator team to implement eight sessions for parents and caregivers. The content is designed to build upon parents’ and caregivers’ compassion resilience, covering such topics as compassion in action, compassion fatigue, expectations, boundaries, modeling and wellness practices. Though designed for facilitators, individuals could also benefit from reviewing this content on their own and reflecting on their parenting/caregiving practices.
- Greater Good’s Guide to Well-Being During Coronavirus-Practices, resources, and articles for individuals, parents, and educators facing COVID-19
