How to Deal with Mental stress in this pandemic Situation?

How Can We Help Others ? We don’t all need to become self-declared mental health advocates who shout about it from the rooftops. But there are things we can do.

If they cry, avoid your protective instinct, and allow them to feel and express their pain. Discuss how they deal with anxiety or moments of stress. Model having time out when it all gets too much. They observe and learn from our every move. If we show it is ok to talk about metal health, they will hopefully be more open. If you connect with an article, a quote
