COVID-19 is affecting all of us differently.

Stressors associated with a pandemic will affect people differently. We can be affected psychologically (e.g., feeling worried), as well as physically (e.g., sleeping poorly). Stressors that are beyond our personal control are especially difficult to cope with.

Signs of stress can include:

- Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones
- Changes in sleep or eating patterns
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Worsening of chronic health problems
- Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs

Remember that not everyone reacts to the same event in the same way and not everyone shows their distress in the same way.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact bc211 to find out what services are available to you in your neighbourhood #yyj Simply call or text 2-1-1 for free or visit bc211.ca. The information and referral service is funded by United Way.

Next week, it's the annual @bellcanada #let'stalkday that shines a light on mental health.

COVID-19 is affecting all of us. Half of Canadians report that their mental health has deteriorated during the pandemic.

Taking care of yourself is important to helping you cope with stress. Simple ways to take care of yourself include:

- Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting, so take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. When you do listen, choose credible sources of information.
- Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid alcohol and drugs.
- Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling and let those close to you, especially children, share their concerns and accept support.
- Maintain as normal a routine as possible, including engaging in activities you enjoy.
- Focus your energies on what you can control rather than worrying about what you can’t.

If you need help or want to find out what services and programs are available in your neighbourhood, contact bc211 - simply dial or text 2-1-1- for free or visit bc211.ca, funded by United Way.

When it comes to mental health, every action count

When it comes to mental health, every action counts.

Next week, @BellCanada #let'stalkday shines a light on mental health to spark conversations and to help create positive change.

Half of Canadians report that their mental health has deteriorated during the pandemic. Children and teens may respond more strongly to the stress of the pandemic.

There are many things you can do to support your child or teen:

- Give them the opportunity to talk about their concerns about the outbreak, tell them the truth, reassure them, and let them know they can count on you.
- Balance giving information with not giving so much it causes more distress. Check in with children to confirm what they understand and that they have accurate facts.
- Let them know it is ok if they feel upset or scared and talk to them about ways to cope with their feelings.
- Limit your family’s exposure to news coverage of the event, including social media.
- Try to keep up with regular routines to the extent possible. If organized activities are cancelled, try to engage in the activity (or an adaptation of the activity) at home.

If you or someone you love needs help and you don't know where to find it, contact @bc211, funded by United Way, for information about what services are available to help. Call or text 2-1-1 for free or visit bc211.ca
