As LCS school counselors are challenged to meet student needs both at school and outside school in the event of closures, resources have been developed and are being shared with you below. Here you'll find a number of resources for talking to students about the pandemic, including encouraging parents to limit their children's exposure to the news media, providing a calming influence to students as needed, and helping students address their fears.
