With the uncertainty that comes with the coronavirus, one thing you can do for yourself this summer is to take care of your mental health. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, stress during an infectious disease outbreak can include worry about your health or the health of loved ones, changes in sleeping patterns, difficulty concentrating, worsening of chronic health issues and mental health conditions, and increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. To help, the CDC recommends taking breaks from social media and the news, and to take care of your body by stretching, meditating, taking deep breaths, eating healthy, exercising regularly, making time to unwind, and avoiding alcohol and drugs. Here at Volume One, we know how important mental health is, and we want to make sure no one feels alone or overwhelmed during these difficult times. So, we’ve adapted a list of mental health resources from around the Chippewa Valley so you can find the most joy throughout the summer.
