Managing Your Mental Health During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Amidst the current outbreak of COVID-19, many students may be developing feelings of fear, stress, worry and isolation—these feelings are natural when facing threats that are beyond our control. Everyone reacts differently to these feelings, which can be overwhelming for some. 

It is important to understand that if you need help in coping with these feelings, there are resources available. Find articles and resources that will guide you in managing your mental health during this time.
