Health experts provide advice on how to improve mental health during the pandemic
KEYSTONE — As the Summit County community limits social interaction to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, health professionals are providing advice on how people can protect their mental well-being.
In a news release from Centura Health, Dr. Di Thompson provided the following tips on how people can protect their mental health:
- Make connections and interact virtually with people
- Check in with how you are feeling
- Accept your feelings
- Acknowledge the holidays will look different this year
Thompson suggested that people set a reminder on their phone to check in with their feelings; accept that some level of grief is natural during the pandemic; and mentally prepare themselves for a Christmas that will look different than normal.
