During this uncertain time, parents are struggling to balance work, childcare, and self-care while keeping worries — both your children’s and your own — under control. You are not alone. SSA and the Urban Education Institute (UEI) have partnered to organize and offer a virtual series that aims to help parents and caregivers manage the new normal. The sessions draw on the perspectives and experiences of social service practitioners, literacy experts, college admissions officers and counselors, and other parents to help you navigate challenging days.
