As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on the community, Crawford County Mental Health Center is encouraging residents to seek out and connect with their local mental health center.

 

Both adults and children are facing daily challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming, and cause heavy emotions. Public health actions, such as social distancing, mask mandates, and quarantines can leave us feeling isolated and lonely with the burden of increased stress and anxiety. There are a handful of ways to learn how to manage your mental wellbeing during the pandemic in a healthy way.

 

Take a media break, mind your physical health, connect with others, do something you enjoy, and ask for help. Learning to manage your mental wellbeing in a healthy way and practicing self-care is important during these tough times. Finding ways to stay connected is vital, as is reaching out when we need assistance.

 

If you are noticing early warning signs of stress, call 620-231-5130 to schedule an appointment or visit https://crawfordmentalhealth.org/ for more information.
