This guide has been developed to accompany the children’s storybook My Hero is You, how kids can fight COVID-19 (see section 3.1.4). Actions for Heroes directs adults about how to have heart-to-heart chats with children and educate them about coping with COVID-19 related stressors and changes. It explains how adults can create safe spaces for children to openly share their feelings, including their fears and worries, about the coronavirus and frustrations at their changed daily lives. The guide also directs adults on how to promote positive actions that children can take to protect themselves and others.

The storybook can be found at the Linked Resources section.
