While children tend to fare better physically than adults, they are not immune to the Coronavirus. In fact, recent polls show 30% of parents believe their children’s mental health and well-being are hurting during the pandemic.

Today’s guest, Elisabeth Hand, is a counselor at the Ecumenical Center in San Antonio. Hand talks with Randy Beamer about the emotional struggles kids might have during COVID-19. She also points out some of the concerning behaviors that parents need to monitor and provides advice on how to help their children.

Randy and Hand also talk about the depression and anxiety that adults are facing right now. Hand gives examples and tips to deal with them.

Hand is a neurological music therapist who, as her title would indicate, integrates music into her counseling, including the piano and the drums. She also works with trauma survivors and people with disabilities. Hand has been with the Ecumenical Center for two years.
