As COVID-19 related restrictions ramp up and uncertainty looms, an increasingly important facet of the public health conversation is mental health.

For individuals undergoing self quarantine or practicing social distancing, the effects can be isolating and difficult. For first responders on the front lines of the pandemic, self care may be taking a backseat. What measures should we take to keep ourselves connected and mentally healthy, in the face of uncertainty? We talk with licensed psychologist and crisis response expert Diana Concannon about best practices. If you have a question for Dr. Concannon, call us at 866-893-5722.
