Communicating as a Family in Times of Crisis (Recorded Webinar)

Monday, May 4, 2020, 12:00 AM - Tuesday, May 4, 2021, 12:00 AM PST

Internet Enduring Material sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. 

During the COVID-19 crisis, focusing on the emotional health and well being of our families is of the utmost importance. Within weeks, the crisis has shifted family communication from a focus on short-term stressors to long-term fears and uncertainties. Communication in families is complex under usual circumstances, and crises such as COVID-19 enhance the intensity of many interactions between family members. This webinar aims to support the Stanford Medical School community with practical evidence-based communication and problem solving strategies that facilitate positive communication within families. Specific sheltering-in-place situations will be discussed for at-risk groups. Participants will leave with affirmative family communication strategies and resources to mitigate conflict, connect as a family, and build resiliency during critical times. All caregivers of children and teens (i.e., fathers, mothers, extended family, other caregivers) are encouraged to attend given their unique perspectives.
