Coping with COVID Stress

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful, overwhelming, and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they can make us feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient.

Healthy Ways to Cope with Stress

• Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including those on social media

• Take care of your body

• Make time to unwind

• Connect with others

• Connect with your community- or faith-based organizations

The best way to cope with COVID-related stress is to get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Please call (808) 293-9231 to schedule your appointment today. 

Mahalo!
