😢The coronavirus has been declared a pandemic - the widespread impact it is having is truly devastating. There has been a lot of attention of course on the physical health consequences, the societal impact, the economic impact... but very little on the impact it is having on mental health 💚

Unfortunately it looks like the situation is getting worse and will continue to (at least short-term) - this is why it’s so important to:
