An Important Message During Covid-19
From the World Health Organization (WHO):
"As part of efforts to reduce the number of people infected with COVID-19, more and more of us are making huge changes to our daily routines.
The new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues take time to get used to. Adapting to lifestyle changes such as these, and managing the fear of contracting the virus and worry about people close to us who are particularly vulnerable, are challenging for all of us. They can be particularly difficult for people with mental health conditions.
Fortunately, there are lots of things that we can do to look after our own mental health and to help others who may need some extra support and care."
Especially during emotionally challenging times like these, it is important to get help when you need it. Hoping things will get better on their own is not a solution. By reaching out to Family Associates of Merrimack Valley, you can find resources to better manage the stress and overwhelm the pandemic is causing for many.
