COVID-19 Resources

It is so easy to get caught up with the storm in the media right now, but force yourself to disconnect. If you must, check only trusted sources such as the CDC and WHO. If you have questions or concerns, talk to your parents. If the people around you won't stop talking about it and it's causing you more anxiety, it's ok to ask them to stop. We are all in this together and must support each other.

This is a very challenging time for all of us. It's hard not being able to see your friends and go about your daily routine. However, you must remember why we are doing this: to protect ourselves and others. We can all be carriers of this virus and not even know that we are spreading it. By staying in our homes and limiting interactions with others, we are keeping everyone safe. If you are a healthy teenager, you may only be sick for a short time. However, it can be severe and life-threatening for others who have chronic health problems or are older. Social distancing protects the ones we care about and love. Check out this great video that clearly shows the power of social distancing.

Here is an extra resource for you on how to keep the greater good in mind during this time. It also has lots of other resources available on their website.
