California’s Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, joins us remotely to share advice on how to talk to your kids about COVID-19, what all of us can do to help, and how to mitigate stress while stuck at home. “We're all feeling a lot of stress right now. And I think for adults, we can kind of recognize it and say it. But for kids, oftentimes it doesn't show up in the same way.”

You can follow Dr. Nadine Burke Harris on Twitter at @DrBurkeHarris and @CA_OSG.
