Frontline Families
Listen now
Description
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians are sacrificing their health to serve on the frontlines of this pandemic. Many of them are living apart from their own families to avoid potentially spreading COVID-19. We share one family’s story. Plus we talk to psychologist and author Jody Carrington about the short term and long term implications for families on the frontlines. You can connect with Jody through her website drjodycarrington.com. And shifting gears to the growing season, we take a look at the benefits of gardening during a pandemic. Cheney Creamer is the chair of the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association and offers her advice for both green and black thumbs.
