Prioritizing your mental health is vital, now more than ever, with dwindled social interactions, social distancing restrictions and closures, and constant (and sometimes stressful) pandemic news updates.
With many organizations now offering their services online to follow social-distancing recommendations, taking a moment for self-care, your mental health and well-being has become a little easier.
Here are some self care resources and activities to help you stay well:
Reach Out to Someone
Going through difficult times alone can be tough. Talk to someone who can offer you support and help boost your mental wellness.
The Wellness Together Canada is an online portal that provides Canadians with mental health services at no cost, including access to peer support workers, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals. To learn more go to https://ca.portal.gs/

Workout
