In Home Support Resources
One of the outcomes of COVID-19 is the need to spend more time at home. Consequently, as previously mentioned the Hearth Team has developed a list of specific “COVID-19 Digital Activities” from around the world which may assist to create an activity plan which helps manage the time inside the home.
As always, we are here to help if you need any kind of assistance please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the Hearth Team and we will do our best to assist.
Warm Regards
