Resources for the COVID-19 Crisis
We have all had to learn how to adjust to our “new normal” during this worldwide crisis. We have had to wear masks in public, cancel vacations, and busy ourselves with the things that never seem to get off the to do list. If you find yourself struggling, remember that it’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to not be okay. Talk to and/or text friends and family regularly. Pull out those old projects that are half done. Binge watch that show on Netflix that you’ve never had time to watch. If you need additional help, here are some resources that might be helpful.
