  • Myths vs Facts of the Corona Virus (Covid-19 Part 2 of 4

    Interesting facts about the Corona virus discussed today on the Counselor live with Sheldon Stovall.  The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has affected hundreds of thousands of people. Data on symptoms and prognosis in children are rare. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify papers on COVID‐19, which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), using the MEDLINE and Embase databases between January 1 and March 18, 2020. The search identified 45 relevant scientific papers and letters. The review showed that children have so far accounted for 1%‐5% of diagnosed COVID‐19 cases, they often have milder disease than adults and deaths have been extremely rare. Diagnostic findings have been similar to adults, with fever and respiratory symptoms being prevalent, but fewer children seem to have developed severe pneumonia. Elevated inflammatory markers were less common in children, and lymphocytopenia seemed rare. Newborn infants have developed symptomatic COVID‐19, but evidence of vertical intrauterine transmission was scarce. Suggested treatment included providing oxygen, inhalations, nutritional support and maintaining fluids and electrolyte balance. The coronavirus disease 2019 has occurred in children, but they seemed to have a milder disease course and better prognosis than adults. Deaths were extremely rare.

  • Myths vs Facts of the Corona Virus (Covid-19 Part 1 of 4
    If someone breathes in the virus, it gets into their nose and then attacks their lungs. Some people who get COVID-19 (like older adults and people with other health problems) may have trouble breathing and need to go to the hospital. Luckily, most kids who catch the coronavirus only get a little bit sick.
    Did You Know?
    COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. All children ages 5 years and older should get vaccinated against COVID-19. Currently, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is the only vaccine authorized for children ages 5 and older.
    Children and teens ages 12 years and older receive the same dose as adults, and children ages 5-11 years receive a smaller dose.
    All children ages 5-17 need two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Everyone ages 5 years and older should also get a booster shot.
    Serious reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in children and teens are rare. The benefit of increased protection against serious illness or death far outweighs the risk of serious side effects.

  • Grief and Loss Pandemic 2021 PART 3 of 3
    Grieving the loss of a loved one during the coronavirus pandemic. You might be angry, frustrated or upset not to have had the chance to say goodbye in person, or to be there when your loved one passed. Their death was possibly sudden, so you might feel overwhelmed and unprepared. Perhaps you feel isolated from your normal support networks, and found the funeral service especially hard given restrictions that may have been in place. Dealing with the loss of a loved one at any time is distressing. Losing someone during the coronavirus pandemic, whether to COVID-19 or to other causes, will bring additional challenges. Here, we look at things you can do help cope with grief over the loss of a loved one during this difficult time.  Grief in an uncertain time
    It’s normal for feelings of grief over a bereavement to be more pronounced when coupled with the uncertainty caused by an event such as the coronavirus pandemic. They may also be accompanied by feelings of frustration or anger. Losing a loved one to suicide
    Grief in response to suicide can be particularly intense and complicated. The Counseling Network has information about managing your mental health and what to expect in the event that you have lost a loved one to suicide.
    If you have lost someone to or during COVID-19:
    Remember that grief is a natural and ongoing response to loss. It can be more pronounced in uncertain times such as these. Try not to be afraid of any emotion you experience.
    Grieve your way. No-one can tell you how to feel.
    Stay connected. Seek support from people you trust .
    Say goodbye. Find quiet time to be alone and say goodbye to your loved one in your own way.
    Understand that a funeral during COVID-19 may be different. Try to focus on what you can control.
    Be prepared. There will be events and moments in future that will trigger your memories and sadness.
    Understand that you will heal. In time you will learn to live with your loss, heal and move forward in new and different ways.

  • Grief and Loss Pandemic 2021 PART 2 of 3

    Grief and loss counseling on Spotify. The Counselor live discusses the 5 stages of grief and takes questions from teens and young adults regarding the shooting.

    “Grief is a most peculiar thing; we're so helpless in the face of it. It's like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it.”
