The Office of Well-Being is hosting a Discussion Series on Parenting and Caregiving during COVID-19 for School of Medicine faculty and staff members.
This series, which follows the symposium on the same topic from earlier this month, will focus on the challenges of parenting, caregiving and virtual learning during the pandemic. We invite you to join your colleagues to share the good, the bad and the ugly, and to provide and find support.
There will be three discussion sessions, each with a different topic focus.
