Jana DeCristofaro of The Dougy Center on Creative Ways to Support One Another While 'Social Distancing' (PANDEMIC SPECIAL EPISODE)
Thank you Jana DeCristofaro of The Dougy Center in Portland, Oregon, for joining me for this special episode. We discuss creative ways to support each other during this time of ‘social distancing.’ Here is the question I teed up for Jana: If we have grieving teens in our families, some of us may be thinking about this: do we set up some kind of limits that keep them from their friends that might ordinarily provide support? Or do we make exceptions that might put them and others at risk? Or ... are there some other options? This discussion was recorded on March 21, 2020.
