From Red Wine & Blue: stay involved and keep calm

In these times, with the headlines about ICE raids and the government shutdown and extremists attacking our schools, it’s hard to know how to stay grounded. And it’s even harder to know how to talk to our kids about tough issues and manage their anxiety.

We want you to stay involved and keep calm, which is why we’ve invited psychologist Dr. Stephanie Citron and therapist Deborah Paris (Stephanie is RWB founder Katie Paris’ mother and Deborah is her mother-in-law!) for an important discussion about how to do just that. 

RSVP for When the World’s on Fire: Caring for Ourselves and our Kids on Monday, October 27, at 7PM ET!

The analogy about the oxygen masks on airplanes is true – we have to make sure our own needs are taken care of before we can help others.

Red Wine & Blue members are talking to tens of thousands of potential voters right now about why the upcoming elections are so important. It’s really fulfilling work, but it also means keeping in mind how rough things are, and what’s at stake.

And our kids are going to school every day amidst the increasing gun violence, fights over curriculum, and an economy in upheaval that’s affecting their families. It’s no wonder anxiety is on the rise in our children!

On Monday, Stephanie and Deborah will give us tools to protect our mental health in these troubled times. They’ll share practical advice on talking to kids about tough issues, helping them manage anxiety, and ways for adults to stay grounded and resilient.

We all need a little self care right now, so don’t miss this important conversation!

RSVP now for When the World’s on Fire: Caring for Ourselves and our Kids.

See you there!
