Supportive Tips:

We want to share some valuable tips provided by the American Psychological Association to help you cope with these events:

• Talk About It: Reach out to someone you trust to discuss your feelings. Sharing your emotions can provide much-needed support and reassurance.

• Strive for Balance: Find a balance between acknowledging the event and focusing on meaningful and comforting aspects of life.

• Turn Off and Take a Break:  Limit exposure to distressing information. Take regular breaks to protect your mental well-being.

• Honor Your Feelings:  Understand that it's normal to experience a range of emotions. Be mindful of physical signs of stress, such as exhaustion and soreness.

• Self-Care:  Prioritize your well-being. Eat nutritious meals, get sufficient rest, stay hydrated, and practice breathing exercises.

• Help Others and Stay Productive: Engage in tasks and help others where possible. Being productive can provide a sense of purpose and alleviate distress.

• Coping with Loss:  If you've experienced loss, be patient with yourself. Grief is a unique process, and it's essential to give yourself time and grace as you heal.
