http://www.treeo-ot.thinkific.com/ This online course developed by some of my OT colleagues, is great for anyone: parents, grandparents, caregivers and even those who do not have children in their lives. It touches on hope, resilience, positivity and how we might move forward during these difficult times. I completed the course myself and have been feeling a little more hope and thinking a little differently.

This may be of interest to some of you.
