Anyone struggling with a bit of anxiety or just want to keep your MENTAL HEALTH in check??? This episode we talk to an expert, (Masters in Psychotherapy, Professor @ Humber, Manager at Stella's Place .... A Non-for-Profit Mental Health Facility on Toronto + more) about some ACTIONABLE coping mechanisms, and just overall ways we can prioritize our MENTAL WELLBEING... from home, of course ๐
I've made this podcast PUBLIC so it can be SHARED if need be & the resources in the comments too.
Everyone is experiencing this change differently, some of us are privileged to still have a job, but are now working from home- navigating that and family life, some of us are not the 'stay-at-home' type and are feeling caged in... Some of us are dealing with sick friends/parents or family members and others have experienced loss. It's important to prioritize your mental wellbeing.
Our goal with this episode was to provide as much value as possible to those who may be (silently) struggling and provide some resources from experts.
Below I have listed some of the suggested resources we touched on during the show. Please feel free to reach out or PM me if the links are now working - no judgement and I will never bring it up. Everyone needs help sometimes ๐๐ค
