The COVID-19 pandemic is a stressful time for all, especially for parents who are now spending their entire day with their children while balancing work requirements with family needs. To help support families during these difficult times, TheFamilyHelpNetwork.ca launched a Resource Guide for parents and children alike with virtual support.

TheFamilyHelpNetwork.ca understands the new stressors associated with the shelter-in-place restrictions and is aiming to help these parents and children work on their [mental health during the difficult times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindless-labs). The new COVID-19 Resource Guide includes activities like what to do when schoolwork is finished, [online counseling clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-therapist1), virtual meetings to connect families with a loved one with a developmental disability, and other helpful resources.
