Be Mindful of Your Mental Health
With us all practising social distancing, schools and businesses closing and many of us working from home for the first time, we find ourselves in a new reality. High levels of anxiety is normal during this unprecedented situation but we must all make an effort on staying calm and checking in on our own well-being as well as the well-being of others. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing tips and resources to make sure that you are taking care of your mental health during this time.
