Taking care of your mental health

Our daily living routines are disrupted causing added anxiety, stress and strain—physically, mentally, and financially. The Center for Workplace Mental Health, a service of the American Psychiatric Association, provides practical tips for taking care of our mental health and well-being. See http://workplacementalhealth.org/Employer-Resources/Working-Remotely-During-COVID-19
