Ideas and support for parents and carers

For children, being out of their usual routine and isolated from friends can be extremely tough. They may also be anxious about the Coronavirus situation and worried about loved ones they’re unable to visit.

If you’re a parent or carer and you don’t have the usual support network of friends and family, it can be incredibly challenging. You may have new responsibilities and are trying to establish routines without any experience or guidance on how to do this.

At Optivo we’re here to support you in any way we can, and that includes providing ideas and useful resources to make your life a little easier during this challenging time.
