Mental Health Resources

Not only has the COVID-19 impacted us physically but also mentally. With minimal human contact and being forced to stay in our homes, about 45% of adults in the United States reported that the pandemic has negatively impacted their mental health. It is okay not to be okay. Here is a list of free online resources and activities, which can provide relief, recovery, and peer support, to address anxiety and depression.
