Mental Health

Infectious disease outbreaks, like the current Coronavirus, can be scary and can affect our mental health. While it is important to stay informed, there are also many things we can do to support and manage our wellbeing during such times.

Mental Health Foundation provides some tips about how to cope with the stress.

Keep healthy and be strong.
