Effective Coping Strategies for Mental Well Being
Long after vaccines have tamed the physical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the toll on mental health will linger. Rates of depression and anxiety are rising while there is a decline in overall well-being. There is no better time than now to assess how you, your friends and family are doing and to choose some practical, immediate ways to cope better.
Objectives:
- Recognize how this pandemic has triggered mental health struggles.
- Assess how you are doing and know when you or someone might need extra support.
- Choose from some practical coping strategies, some that can provide quick relief.
- Know how your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help you and your family members.
