Tips for dealing with mental health during covid Mental Health

As we approach the one year mark since the first Covid-19 lockdown, let us focus on all the positives we have achieved during these challenging times.

Here are some of our accomplishments over the last 12 months.

  • Most of us are working from home and have adapted well to staying in touch with our colleagues.
  • A lot of people have gotten to know their neighbours and found a sense of community.
  • As there have been fewer cars on the roads, there have been fewer accidents and less pollution.
  • Many people have undertaken home DIY projects to improve their living arrangements.
  • There is a huge appreciation for the NHS and other essential workers.
  • More people have connected online, via tools such as Zoom, with people all over the world.
  • There is a vaccination available and more and more people are receiving their first dose.
  • Some people have taken the extra time at home to learn new skills.

 

Many people have been directly affected by the Coronavirus and some of us have lost loved ones. At Source, we know that these can be upsetting and anxiety inducing times.

Take the time to read this sheet on ways to continue to remain positive and keep those anxious thoughts at bay.
