Quick Tips

Are you struggling? Here's a quick list on how to prepare an emotional support system for yourself:

  • Maintain familiar routines as much as possible, and get dressed every day.

  • Physicial distancing doesn't mean being alone. Stay connected to others through video, social networks, and phone calls.

  • Find an online support community if you need one: 7cups, Emotions Anonymous, and 18 percent are some options. See our Mental Health Resources page for more.

  • Continue to get exercise and eat healthy.

  • Take a break from social media and the news when you need it.
