This is a health crisis with enormous economic and social consequences.
The important focus on physical health and financial assistance means our mental health and well-being may have been overlooked.
If you would like more information about managing your mental health through this difficult period, visit https://lifeinmindaustralia.com.au/support-for-those-impacted-by-adverse-events/mental-health-support-for-covid-19.

Stay safe, stay home and stay connected.
