Likely many of us are experiencing worry these days. Worry about finding toilet paper at the store when our family needs it. Worry about staying healthy. Worry about being off of work and our income being affected. Worry about being isolated from others. This new reality feels very different for us all-it’s very shocking. I want to remind you to take care of you. I’d like to offer a few tips to care for your mental wellbeing during this time:
