Coronavirus: New resource for looking after your mental wellbeing
Shropshire Council and partners have produced a new mental health resource “Looking after your mental health during COVID-19”, which provides a summary of helpful resources and links to a range of practical tips, advice and support to help everyone through these uncertain times.
This great new resource contains a variety of information such as local immediate support, and online resources for managing wellbeing during the coronavirus pandemic. It includes top tips for self-isolation, a children’s 14-day coronavirus challenge, and tips for helping to manage coronavirus anxiety.
There is also a section on information for GPs and other primary care workers on supporting the mental health of children and young people during the COVID-19 crisis.
The resource can be found by clicking the webpage link https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/coronavirus/information-for-the-public/support-for-families-carers-and-those-with-health-conditions/ and looking under the ‘mental health’ section. This resource will be updated regularly.
Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for adult social care, public health and climate change, said:-
“The coronavirus crisis is a huge time of change and uncertainty for everyone, and this can make many of us feel worried or anxious. This resource provides lots of useful information, and I would encourage everyone to take a look.”
