“We have three boys aged four, six, and eight. It was important to my husband and I to share with our children why dad was home some days and not the next – explaining the role of a frontline worker in an appropriate way for their age helped them comprehend the instability within our home. By opening these conversations, our children became more resilient to what is happening in this ever-changing environment”
By joining Fortem, Simone pledges to open the conversation around family dynamics and how physical health via exercise and good nutrition is key to assisting emotional wellbeing and a positive mindset.
