During this unfamiliar time, our resilience may not be at its usual levels. It’s normal to feel worried or stressed. Below are some tools you can use to support your mental health and help you cope with any anxiety and stress.
Maintaining social connection with others will help motivate you through these uncertain times. Whether you connect daily with colleagues, or with your family, it’s best to maintain a daily balance so you’re not doing too much for others before looking after your own needs.
Recommended resources to help you connect with others at work and at play:
