Season 2 Episode 5 - Coping with COVID - Mental Health Resources for You and Your Family

The Perspective Matters Podcast

As we reflect on the importance of acknowledging and celebrating Mental Health Week in May and also Child's Month. I want to share some resources you can use if you need mental health support for yourself and your loved ones. The resources below are specific to Canada, the United States of America and the Caribbean. I also share Instagram resources that may be of benefit to you. Now more than ever it is necessary for us to pay attention to our mental health and seek the help that we need. These resources are available to you; if you feel more comfortable sharing with a stranger and do not want to feel as if you are a burden to your family and network. I want to let you know; that you are not alone in this!! Help is available, you just need to know where to look and be brave to ask for the help. If you urgently need to talk so someone please call 1-800- 273- TALK; that's 1-800-273-8255!
