Resources When Home

These are unprecedented times in our world.  There is a lot of uncertainty. Parents and children do not know when they will return to school.  We need to social distance and stay home, both telework and teleschool.  I have gleaned resources from a variety of social media and complied them in no particular order.  The resources are for boredom, to support homeschooling, to support teens, young adults and adults who may need recovery resources.  There is no great organization to this list, and I am open to modifying and adding to it, please just send me an email or a message.  And feel free to share this list with others so that they too can fight boredom or access resources they need. 

Please stay safe during the Covid 19 crisis. Please support businesses where you can.  Please have good practices to prevent the spread.
