This activity guide includes 40 activities for youth to learn about the science of COVID-19 and to develop greater social awareness and empathy. It was developed for the State Afterschool Networks (SANs) and has activities useful for out-of-school programs and family child care providers whether offering in-person, virtual, or take-home activities.
This issue brief and its video clips explore trauma-informed practices implemented in a Nashville, TN school.

This resource supports the COVID-19 response.
