Be open to asking for help

Lately, vaccines for COVID-19 are creating hopeful, positive vibes. But for many people, the fears and uncertainties of the last year are still alive and well.

It’s normal to have emotional reactions to the changes and losses from COVID-19. Here are some ways you can get help with those feelings:

• Open up to friends and loved ones who will listen and support you.
• Call us to connect with a counselor. We can help you process your grief and work toward recovering a more positive mindset.
