Hello Shipmates,
Family dynamics, among so many other things, have been greatly impacted by COVID-19. For some, the isolation caused by the pandemic has been made even worse by an emerging or worsening abusive environment. Please join us this Wednesday as Mrs. Davidra Bazemore-Blue, the Family Advocacy Specialist from the National Capital Region (NCR), and Chaplain Jared Payne, from District 11, discuss ways to thrive in an environment of persistent togetherness. Our presenters will cover overcoming negative stress reactions on couples, family, and parenting relationships and provide resources to help in those situations.
