Dealing with Stress, Worry and Anxiety during Covid 19
- When you sense you or your kids are feeling anxious or stressed…talk with each other. Text a friend. Call a family member. Reach out to a teacher.
- Recognize when you need to escalate your call for help. If the stress/anxiety/worry is affecting your day-to-day life then it is best to speak to a health care professional or KidsHelpPhone.ca?
- Don’t forget to check on your strong friends. We all feel worried from time to time. So text. Message. It doesn’t have to be a face to face.

Great ideas. I have to get outside for a few minute daily. I have been baking and eating more too. Keep safe.
Great ideas. I walk daily, outside or treadmill. I also started spring cleaning I do a little everyday to keep moving. I so miss Aquafit!
I have been trying to pass my time by using up leftover fabric from quilting to make face masks !
These are fabulous ideas! There has never been a more important time than during this pandemic for everyone to look after their mental health. Thanks for sharing this important message and tips!
