• This week for Wellness Wednesday we are featuring alum Isabelle Rowe, LCSW-C, MSW '13. Isabelle Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a writer. She has been working with children in and out of the classroom for over a decade and now works as the Assistant Director of a special needs preschool in Maryland. Isabelle states “Children are most likely overhearing frightening commentary on the news or conversations among adults. Children are naturally curious and have a lot of questions, such as: Why is everyone sick? Why can’t I visit my friends and family? Why can’t I go to school or the playground? Why is everyone wearing masks? Will my mom, dad, or friends die? Will I die? Children’s imaginations will naturally fill in the blanks, which may cause anxiety.” “Lucy and the Coronavirus” is a book that can help empower families to answer those complex questions and respond to their young children’s feelings about COVID-19. Lucy’s mother, a teacher, has a clear and direct way of answering difficult questions. She explains germs and medicine to her children. Lucy’s Books are a planned series and are available in e-book and paperback formats on amazon.com. Working on the frontlines of this pandemic? Submit your story and photo to alumni@ssw.umaryland.edu.
