Welcome to Open Sky's video series, Coping during COVID. All of our lives have been turned upside down by the social distancing practices put in place to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. While these are changes are vital for public health, it's also left many of us feeling increased stress, anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions. These videos and helpful tips are from clinical leaders and other experienced mental health pros from Open Sky and focus on tried and true strategies for coping with challenges like the ones we're currently facing.
A huge thank you to our clinical and service staff who developed some terrific content and, while working remotely, found ways to shoot their own videos.
