St Jude Teen COVID-19 Resource
As states experience an uptick in COVID-19 cases, the family and child life specialists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have developed a new resource geared specifically for teenagers to better understand the virus and how to stay healthy throughout the summer. It provides accurate, scientific and illustrative explanations in age-appropriate language about the virus, how it spreads, symptoms, protective measures for both physical and mental health/self-care.
The new teen resource joins a suite of age-appropriate tools for parents and children of all ages from teens, pre-teens and younger children.
together.stjude.org has an entire set of resources for parents, including information developed by the St. Jude experts on "how to talk to your children about coronavirus and COVID-19" to tips and frequently asked questions children may ask about the virus. Plus, they created the Learn About the Coronavirus Coloring Book for children ages 5-9, as well as an Activity Book geared more toward "tweens" from 10-13.
