Mental Health Resources

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be stressful for people and communities. Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in all who are impacted. Reactions during an infectious disease outbreak can include: fear and worry about your own health status and that of your loved ones who may have been exposed to COVID-19, Changes in sleep or eating patterns, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs, etc.

 

Coping with these feelings and getting help when you need it will support you, your family, and your community move forward through this time. Connect with family, friends, and others in your community. Take care of yourself and each other, and recognize when and how to seek help. Call your healthcare provider if stress reactions interfere with your daily activities for several days in a row. 

• Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.
• Make time to unwind and remind yourself that strong feelings will fade. Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories. It can be upsetting to hear about the crisis and see images repeatedly. Try to do some other activities you enjoy (ideas listed below).

• If you are already connected with a mental health professional (i.e. therapist or counselor in the community) reach out and see if they are conducting tele-therapy sessions. Some are still seeing clients via online formats such as Zoom.
