I had a baby. When can I start seeing relatives in person?

Parent Category: Newsflashes

Our hearts go out to those of you with new babies who, due to the need for social distancing, have not been able to connect with loved ones in person. As the pandemic evolves and the country looks toward reopening, however, the question of when it will be okay to meet without six feet of distance will only become less clear-cut. In making this decision, you’ll want to think through a variety of factors from all sides of the equation in order to find a solution that’s safe, appropriate, and responsible.

A Self-Care Message from PSP Headquarters

Parent Category: Newsflashes
Category: Newsflash

Hey All,

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve checked in with you all. My social worker brother always seems to come through when I am grappling with my feelings, so maybe you’ll get some comfort from this too (I hope so). He told me about the term crisis fatigue, which pretty accurately describes the state of the world and how we’ve all been constantly pumping cortisol for the past 3 months. As this Wired article points out:

“You might at this point feel lost or numb, and that’s perfectly natural. Psychologists call it crisis fatigue: Your body is well adapted to handle temporary stresses, but it can get overwhelmed by the constant, unrelenting pressures of this horrible year.”

All that cortisol is doing a whammy on our psyches. Unless we take the time for self-care, we will not have the energy to reach our short-term and long-term goals going forward. Here are some tips that will hopefully remind you to “put on your own mask before helping others” and give you information on how to do so.
