Mental Health Resources
It’s normal to feel stressed and upset during a crisis. Finding ways to cope and manage stress is important for your health and wellness. Here are some tips and resources to help you support your emotional and mental health, as well as your community through these challenging times:
Focus on Movement
Physical activity gives the body a boost of energy, relieves stress, and keeps the mind sharp as you age.
Disconnect from Social Media
Disconnecting allows you to have quiet time alone. During this time, you can self-reflect and hold space for self care.
Ask for Help When its Needed
Seeking help means you can start to get relief and recover sooner. There are many professionals who are willing to help.
Find Ways to Connect
Connecting with friends or family promotes a sense of safety, belonging, and self confidence—helping to regulate emotions.
Get Some Rest
Rest is vital for reducing stress, increasing concentration and memory, and a healthier immune system, all leading to an improved mood.
