Family Futures Resource Networks update on COVID-19

We want to reach out and stay connected during this time of change as we adapt to what we may call the “new normal”. To limit the impact of COVID 19 on the community, all programs and services at Family Futures Resource Network will be postponed until further notice. Our offices are currently closed until April 6, 2020. We will be monitoring the situation closely and reevaluating the situation on April 6, 2020. Please check our webpage and Facebook for updates.

We miss hearing the children’s giggles and laughter, the welcoming hugs, and seeing familiar faces. The staff are doing their part by staying home and self-isolating so we can come back healthy and strong. We hope you are all doing well and staying safe, healthy and connected.

Entertaining your children while following social distancing can be a challenge. Here are some ideas to do with your family while staying safe.

1. Set a routine that works for your family.
2. Include activities where you spend time together to help decrease stress and strengthen cohesiveness.
3. Stay connected with friends and family through phone calls, messaging and FaceTime.
4. Try to limit time on electronics.
5. Spend time outside while maintaining social distancing.
6. Of course most of all take time for self care – eat well, get proper rest, stay physically active, and practice emotional wellness which may include mindfulness, spirituality, prayer, or being in nature.
