Please Pass the Love Resources!

A local group, Please Pass the Love, continues to do amazing work when it comes to Mental Health of our youth and families in Iowa. I'm placing a link below that has daily opportunities for kids of all ages to participate in Zoom conversations about COVID-19, their physical and mental health, and just check in with other kids and caring adults. There are also webinars and online chats for adults to get information on how to protect our children's mental health during this time as well. After all these opportunities, there are a ton of resources that are helpful when it comes to kids, adults, families, COVID-19, and mental health issues. Please check out their site and their information, they are amazing!
