As you many of you may know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This year is unlike any other.

 

Covid-19 is causing a historic rise in mental health problems, as people of all ages are experiencing added levels of stress and anxiety, along with loneliness, isolation, grief, and depression.

 

In this special episode of Speaking up for Mental Health, two of our clinical experts are here to discuss the types of trauma many Americans – and many people here in Los Angeles – are experiencing due to COVID-19. Our experts discuss how to know if your mental health may be at risk, coping strategies for children of different ages, and how to adapt to this new normal.
