Even as more of our communities reopen, addressing the impact the isolation of the pandemic has had on children s mental health won t be an immediate fix.
âItâs really important that parents stay alert. Whether you re in the military or not, be alert to your children, really take the time to listen to your children,â said Lt. Col Robin D. Charlie Brown, Facilitator at Red Cross Resiliency Workshops.
Military kids continue to face additional and unique stresses during the pandemic. That includes their parents being on active duty longer than normal or not being able to go on a short leave to see their family while they re doing a year tour.
