**Previously Recorded on 11/01/2021 - Not a Live Event**

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, millions of school age children have been removed from their classrooms and they are now returning to school with uncertainty. Parents have had additional responsibilities of managing homeschool, working from home, and working essential jobs in the absence of consistent childcare options. Rates of depressive symptoms and anxiety have increased, with women reporting higher rates than men. Rates of substance use and overdose have also increased, which is exacerbated by limited access to substance use disorder treatment. These cumulative stressors disrupt family routines, opportunities for social connection, and relationship norms. In this talk, three components, relationship, compassion, and restoration will be presented with case discussion and review of evidence-based practices that can be employed to help families create a new sense of normalcy. When facing life altering disruption, these components can be key in re-establishing safety, maintaining function, and strengthening resilience.
