Last month we launched a limited series of brand new Empathy Hours — virtual “meetups” for educators, experts, and caregivers to stay connected, find a sense of community, and support one another through trying times.
As educators and families adjust to a new reality of remote learning, Empatico is also adapting to continue spreading empathy and community.
