Counselor’s Corner May 18, 2020

As the weeks of physical distancing and isolation at home have worn on, we also may start to feel a bit worn down by all the challenges the pandemic has presented thus far. The constant news cycle, the ever-changing guidelines, and the continued uncertainty affect our mental, emotional, and physical health. As there likely will be several more months ahead of us to endure the life interruptions caused by the pandemic, there’s every reason to stop, take a breath, and regroup in order to handle our personal, work, school, and household challenges.

We have been forced to rethink how we do things in nearly every aspect of life, but that can foster both creativity and a sense of accomplishment. For those suffering from the extreme stress of unemployment and economic strain, the difficulties are even greater. Therefore, it is very important to do everything possible to take care of ourselves, and to take care of one another. So, let’s take that deep breath now, take a moment to look within and around ourselves, and see how we can help one another continue to manage the pressures of life during these troublesome times.

Top Resources for Help During the Pandemic
