Pandemic Parenting Resources Teams Group offering support

Are you working while caring for children, or know someone who is? 

In response to the latest switch to online schooling for children in Ontario, a Teams group is being formed by Andrea Brookfield and Nandita Basu to help support members of the UW community caring for children as they navigate the needs of their families and careers.

Organizers would like this group to be a place to find and share resources and strategies to support children’s learning, and sometimes just keep them occupied during the workday. They hope it will be a way to crowdsource things to keep kids engaged and learning outside of synchronous class time, with initial resources targeting elementary-aged kids.

The ultimate goal is to create a space for us to support and connect with each other during this time. 

If you are interested in joining this group, please send an email or Teams message to Andrea Brookfield (andrea.brookfield@uwaterloo.ca).

In addition, please pass along this invite to any other members of the UW community who are caring for children.

Disclaimer: This group is a place to support other parents/caregivers and share resources. All members have an expectation of respectful engagement at all times. The administrators reserve the right to remove members if they are not engaging respectfully.
