Infectious disease outbreaks, like the current Covid-19 one, can be scary and can affect our mental health. While it is important to stay informed, there are also many things we can do to support and manage our wellbeing during such times.
Many of us are struggling with mental health and mood as a result of the pandemic and so are our children. Young Minds have compiled tips, advice and guidance on where you can get support for your mental health during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
