Looking after ourselves and our family during the coronavirus pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has had a profound impact on all facets of our society. While it is reasonable for people to be concerned about the outbreak of the coronavirus we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel with the easing of restrictions commencing this week. We must still remember to look after ourselves and our family and friends as it is normal to feel overwhelmed or stressed by social restrictions or news of the outbreak. Information is available on the R U OK website. Social contact and maintaining routines can be supportive for our mental health and wellbeing and some helpful hints can be found here.
If you think you need further help - Beyond Blue Support Service provides advice and support via telephone 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14.
