To provide Parents and Teachers with the best guidance on how to communicate with children about the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) outbreak, Dr. Patricia Haynes led a team of faculty and students in the Department of Health Promotion Science to gather these materials into a Toolkit. The Toolkit will help us all work with our kids to understand the outbreak and stay healthy.

You can also download the comic book for kids: “Exploring the New Coronavirus,” and associated Teacher Guide which can be an especially useful activity to help children understand the outbreak.
