SUBJECT: COVID-19 Weekly Update
DATE: March 5, 2021
WEEKLY TIP
Each of us has been dealing with the many stresses of COVID-19 for a year now and it’s natural to be feeling “COVID fatigue” and increased mental health effects. As we continue to deal with the lack of control and negative emotions that can accompany the continued pandemic, these coping skills from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Gustavus Counseling Center may be helpful. During this long weekend, please take some time to unplug, check in with yourself, and relax!
