Call to Mind: Spotlight on parenting during coronavirus

The pandemic is having a major impact on all our lives and the lives of our families.

As caregivers during this time, the normal challenges of getting food on the table, balancing work, and supporting the children in our lives are made even harder.

How can we better manage our own mental well-being, so we can better support our loved ones?

This is a recorded webinar MPR News host Angela Davis led recently with Call to Mind, MPR and APM’s initiative to foster new conversations about mental health.
