The Pandemic Is a ‘Mental Health Crisis’ for Parents

"So what can parents do to help bolster their mental health in this time of difficulty?

The old coping mechanisms you had may not be available any time soon, so if you can even take a tiny break for yourself every day, that’s better than nothing. “Is that a five-minute yoga video on YouTube? Is it a five-minute text exchange with an old friend?” Rimalower said."
