The arrival of COVID -19 is bringing lots of anxiety and change into our daily lives. This includes changes in our routines, how we communicate with family and friends, how we travel, work, and study.
This difficult time will pass. In the meantime, self- care, self- help and information is more important for you right now than ever before.
This App was designed to give you that kind of support and we suggest you take some time to explore it to find what may work for you in the current circumstances.
1. Social media:
If you are becoming anxious or overwhelmed about COVID-19, we recommend that you try to limit how much you are checking media/ social media to just once or twice a day e.g. in the morning and evening.
It’s also important to get your news from reputable sources, as there have been a lot of myths and untrue information circulating on social media which can put lives at risk.
2. Anxiety
Some anxiety is absolutely a normal response to the current crisis, but it is also important to manage it. We really love the advice on these posters from the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) about managing COVID-19 related stress.
Take a few moments to review them and see what you and your family might find useful at home.
