Resources for wellbeing
Stress and feelings of confusion, disappointment and worry are expected during a crisis. The Red Cross has resources to help with physical and mental wellbeing.You can also take our online Psychological First Aid courses at your own pace. Red Cross Psychological First Aid teaches you how to build up resiliency to stress and establish coping strategies.
This can be a very stressful time, but if you are struggling with continued feelings of extreme stress, can’t shake feelings of despair, anxiety or depression, please consider seeking help through your healthcare provider, family or a community organization. Asking for help is a sign of strength.
