COVID-19: Resources to help you
stay calm & regulated

We know everyone is spending more time at home as families over the next few weeks. That can be challenging and stressful on a number of levels.

We are all figuring it out and trying to manage day-by-day. Learning what to do, what not to do, and how to stay connected, but not too physically connected. We are figuring out new routines, approaches and needs.

It’s not easy, but we will get through this together.

Here at Unyte and iLs, we are reminding ourselves of what we know from the research we have done over the years. We want to share these thoughts, learnings and resources with you, and we hope you find them helpful.

Interested in speaking to us directly? We’re here for you.

A Story To Help Children Facing Emotional Challenges

In this scientifically based story we see a young girl who, with the help of her parents, clinicians and pet cat, learns to overcome fear and embrace life.

Now more than ever it is important to pause, to breathe, to take a moment for yourself in an effort to remain regulated and to help those around you regulate. In doing so, we know that we can calm the physiological and emotional state and enhance our resilience.
