Resources for COVID anxiety
I found these resources online when looking for support for myself and loved ones. I checked these resources and thought I would share them here. This is by no means an exhaustive list and serves as an example of what you can find online if you are discerning.
I’m not affiliated with these organizations in any way nor do I personally or professionally endorse them.
