“Parenting in a Pandemic” is part of a series of FREE classes offered for Golden area residents offered by the Rotary Club of Golden. The Mental Wellness Initiative focuses on promoting mental well-being in teens and kids.
Any type of tragedy, including the COVID-19 pandemic, can leave caretakers struggling to find what to say and how to connect with their youth. How do we help kids feel safe and secure in a world that doesn’t feel that way? This class covers how to help kids cope, strategies for care givers to utilize to support feelings of control for them and their young people, and how caregivers themselves can take care of their emotions.
Speaker Chelsea Vibert (LPC) is the clinical coordinator for Colorado Spirit, a team working with those impacted by COVID-19 through Jefferson Center. She received her Master’s degree in International Disaster Psychology and specializes in trauma-based treatments, such as EMDR and TF-CBT. Prior to this role, she provided individual, group, and family therapy to students in Jefferson County schools, as well as providing professional development for educators and administrators on mental health and trauma.
