BURLINGTON, ON
Got this from people who are in the business of helping people.
Does the feeling expressed represent what most – maybe just many – feel?
There’s this tension everywhere right now – we’re all expecting another covid infestation and another shut-down – our worst fears.
But we’re all LOVING this opportunity to feel free again.
They follow this up with
“… reminding people to enjoy this great weather while it lasts, get out for a walk and enjoy this great City. With the Pandemic still hanging on we all know what we can do to try to protect ourselves and our neighbours – just follow the basic covid protocols we’ve heard so often – keep it up.
You can find a wealth of information about Mental health and COVID-19 at the Halton Region website here – https://www.halton.ca
For-Residents/Public-Health/Mental-Health COVID-19 is affecting our lives in many different ways.
It might sound stupid – maybe even too simple – but when the anxiety builds up and your worried, confused maybe even a little afraid – just take deep deep breathes. Your body and your mind will settle down.
It is normal to feel stress and concern. Remember to take care of your mental health, just as you would take care of your physical health. While physical distancing is important to help limit the spread of COVID-19, we can still find ways to stay connected through technology and practice self-care.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to a colleague, friend, loved one or health professional if you need support.
St.Matthews Church on Plains Road is reminding people that there are students who could use some help.
