Le CDC notes that fear and anxiety about a disease outbreak can be overwhelming and can cause strong emotions. Individuals can find themselves cut off from their support systems or may feel as though they need additional or outside support to manage their concerns.
Fortunately, help is available through a variety of services and platforms, with many of them also supporting specific populations and needs. Below is a list of reputable crisis and suicide-prevention services which can provide individuals needing support, guidance or resources for managing stresses related to COVID-19.
