In Times Such as These...

These days, there is instability everywhere we look (the economy, politics, food insecurity, weather, wars, immorality, violence, and sickness). When bad news or a crisis comes, anxiety and tension can escalate quickly. Add these fears to our parenting and educational challenges, and sometimes we can feel lost and alone.

 

At Homeschoolers of Maine, we hope that whenever a crisis comes to your family or community, the links below will help provide guidance, wisdom and hope for the future.
