Thunder Swamp shines with creeks, 45 miles of trails, and unusual flora and fauna. As part of the free series Get Outdoors Poconos, hikers are invited to join a naturalist-led, 1.5-mile outing exploring part of this extensive preserve. Hikers will follow a rocky path to see evidence of coyotes, big slices of slate rising from the ground, huge boulders covered with moss and ferns, sheep laurel, blueberries, witch hazel, and wintergreen. Great blue herons often survey the swamps partially maintained by beavers – a chain of three lodges lines the west side of the swamp.

She can manage just fine, she insisted. I love her dearly and am happy to do for her but I can only check on her so often and I worry constantly. She reluctantly agreed to visit Walden III and they suggested a compromise. Independent Living! There are lovely apartments on the campus for folks like Mom and you can select whatever services you want from meals to housekeeping to medication reminders and more. Well she shocked us all by signing up! She gets to retain her independence and her dog which was a big concern and my Brother and I enjoy the comfort and security of knowing that help is always at hand. They see her every day when they deliver her meals or come to clean or pick up her laundry and she has a call bell that can summon help anytime of the day or night. Another plus is that she has made friends with people both in the facility and the other apartments. So yes it was a compromise but in my view it was a win-win!

Fortunately, there are free, confidential programs that can help. The American Red Cross Reconnection Workshops focus on individual and smallgroup discussion that enhances the likelihood of positive reconnections among family members. Two are especially designed to assist children in developing effective coping and communication skills. Each has separate modules with activities suitable for children (8 to 12 years old) and teens (12 to 18 years old). Twelveyear-olds can attend either workshop. The workshops are: • Roger That! Communication Counts. To overcome months of family separations, this workshop focuses on the importance of developing quality interpersonal communication skills. • Operation 10-4: Confident Coping. This program helps kids to develop empathy and build on the strengths they already have to help them manage stressful situations. The Workshops are led by licensed child mental health facilitators and the activities encourage active participation and enjoyment while learning new skills.
