MENTAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE DURING CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

In January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new coronavirus disease to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. WHO stated there is a high risk of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spreading to other countries around the world. In March

2020, WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. WHO and public health authorities around the world are acting to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.

However, this time of crisis is generating stress in the population. These mental health considerations were developed by the WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Use as messages targeting different groups to support for mental and psychosocial well-being duringCOVID-19 outbreak.

  • Ask your groups to hold computer-generated gatherings if you cannot leave home.
  • Have more video chats with friends. Scrolling through social media pages does not count as community connection!
  • Remember shift and stay skills– what can you bring into your life today to replace the old habits or behaviors? shift negative and bring positive feeling.
  • Use positive gesture and spontaneous movement  to bring back hope, happiness and strangeness
  • Feed your body with healthy, fun foods and nonalcoholic drinks. Be selective about what you are stocking up on. Consider pulling out those recipes you have always wanted to try. Be sure you have the basic ingredients to start working on those!
  • If you feel disconnected from yourself, your community or your purpose, try some simple grounding skills.
  • If you are in good health, keep moving your body and mind positive with doing resource intensification.
  • During times of stress, pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Engage in healthy activities that you enjoy and find relaxing.
