HOW TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
For many, the Coronavirus pandemic has turned our lives upside down in one way or other. As we navigate these new, and often stressful, times it’s important to make both mental and physical health a priority. From practicing self-care and staying active to connecting with your social networks and asking for help, we’ve put together a list of mental and physical health tips and resources for adults and children to stay healthy during this crisis.
MENTAL HEALTH
Feeling stress, anxiety or depression is a common in times of volatility or uncertainty—and the Coronavirus pandemic certainly qualifies as such a time. While this public health crisis brings about lots of new and unknown experiences for everyone, remember that we are all facing this together.
Support and Crisis Hotlines
Several organizations have created dedicated mental health support lines to assist Texans experiencing stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges during this time:
The North Texas Behavioral Health Authority (NTBHA) Mental Health Support line can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 833-251-7544.
Call the Texas Health and Human Services Statewide COVID-19 Mental Health Support Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week toll-free at 833-986-1919.
Connect with LifePath Systems via phone or telehealth for professional help. Contact 844-544-5939 to schedule a service. Crisis line is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week
Self-Care
The World Health Organization recommends these tips for self-care and maintaining good mental wellbeing:
Only seek information from trusted sources—minimize watching or reading anything that makes you anxious
Stay connected to family and maintain your social networks, while always maintaining physical distance
Create a sense of structure and routine in daily life, including regular sleep and rest
Pay attention to your body—take breaks, get outside, eat and drink when your body signals it needs it
Share positivity—amplify hopeful stories of local people and celebrate successes at work
Protect yourself and be supportive of others
Be mindful of “unhelpful coping strategies” like smoking and drinking—try to keep them to a minimum.
