“The thing that is most important for us as parents and caregivers is this: to be able to be there for our kids, we gotta take care of ourselves.”

Former California Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, joins Van to answer listener questions about how to handle the adverse effects of the pandemic on children. What do you do if your child is neurodivergent? How can we help to make sure our children are still socialized during periods of isolation? How do we help our young ones grieve?

Dr. Burke Harris is an award-winning physician, researcher, mother to four sons, and a leading expert in Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. We hope this episode provides you with answers, insight, and hope.
