It’s nearing the end of May and it’s Mental Health Awareness week. So the timing couldn’t be more helpful to remind us about looking after our mental health.
We are facing a mental health emergency thanks to the outbreak of Covid-19. People are struggling through lockdown, the tragic loss of loved ones, and the fear and uncertainty that comes with such an unprecedented event.
Of course the greatest impact is stress coupled with anxiety at what could happen and how we get through Coronavirus.
The Mental Health Foundation has published some great resources to help people as we all struggle with today’s challenges. Looking after your mental health is just as important as staying safe.
