1/ Life has turned upside down thanks to #COVIDー19. My colleagues at the @acatholicherald want to help as much as we can. Here are some helpful resources we've put together over the last few weeks.

2/ If you're struggling to homeschool without much guidance (or perhaps too much), @elizabethfoss has years of experience as a home educator. You will feel better after reading her words of reassurance. Promise. #Homeschooling2020 https://www.catholicherald.com/Opinions/Columnists/A_home_educator_s_tips_for_home_schooling__First,_don_t_call_it_that
3/ On a related theme, Michael Horne, a counselor with @CCDArlington, has great tips for families who are doing everything together, all the time. If you feel discouraged after a couple weeks of #quarantine, know that you can still turn things around. https://www.catholicherald.com/Opinions/Columnists/Advice_to_families_on_work_and_school_at_home/
4/ @LMillerACH highlights local groups that are doing good work in uncharted territory. You might be inspired to reach out to your own parish or another group after reading this. #LookForTheHelpers https://www.catholicherald.com/News/Local_News/Church_groups_step_up_to_help_elderly,_at-risk_neighbors/
5/ Local food pantries are experiencing double the usual number of requests, @ZoeyMaraistACH reports. If you're in a position to help, there are places in this article to consider. If not, it's still good to know. https://www.catholicherald.com/News/Local_News/Food_pantries_see_jump_in_need_during_pandemic/
6/ Another place that needs help: your parish. @LMillerACH explains how many are shifting to online giving in the absence of a collection plate. https://www.catholicherald.com/News/Local_News/With_no_offertory_plates_to_pass,_churches_scramble_to_sign_up_parishioners_for_online_giving/
7/ And in the midst of all this #COVID19 chaos, we need to make time for self-care. Michael Horne has simple, straightforward advice for dealing with fear, anxiety, depression and spiritual crisis. It's good stuff. Check it out. https://www.catholicherald.com/Opinions/Columnists/Counselor_advice_on_dealing_with_fear,_anxiety,_depression_or_spiritual_crisis/
8/ I included a list of all these stories, and more, in the most recent @acatholicherald email newsletter. There's a lot more coming this week, so here's the link to sign up if you found this thread at all helpful. http://bit.ly/ACHnewsletter Thanks for reading!
