Mental Health Resources for Weathering COVID-19

Mental Health Resources for Weathering COVID-19

In the first six months of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has gripped the world and largely affected the mental health of many individuals. With stay-at-home orders and self quarantine, day-to-day life has changed immensely. Millions have filed for unemployment, and some have difficulties accessing care for chronic illness. Meanwhile, over 100,000 Americans have lost their lives to COVID-19. The uncertainty has led to an unsettling feeling amongst many, leaving them unsure of how to cope.

It is imperative to keep up with our own mental health and self-care during this time. While we may think of our mental health as separate, it has large impacts on our physical well-being as well.
At CardioVisual, we will continue to encourage (and provide materials for) creating a healthy lifestyle.
Some helpful resources:
  1. Very Well Mind offers a helpful list of healthy coping skills for uncomfortable emotions.
  2. The Centers for Disease Control lists symptoms of stress as well as resources for those in distress.
  3. Mental Health America offers information on mental health and disease outbreaks with specific resources for BIPOC individuals.
