Due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Global Disaster Preparedness Center and the American Red Cross developed digital resources to support the resilience and further development of coping skills for youth during the pandemic and in the event of other disasters and emergencies. Intended to be global and accessible, the child-friendly resources span from digital activity books to animated videos – all in different languages. This informative demonstration will showcase Prepare with Pedro and the Kids Activity Kit: COVID-19 which are digital resources freely available for National Societies, parents, and educators to use for groups or individual youth.
