The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently published a tip sheet titled “Tips for Survivors of a Pandemic: Managing Stress.” The tip sheet describes common reactions during and after pandemics for both adults and children at various ages and provides tips to manage stress including relaxation practices, physical activity, and physical care. Additionally, the tip sheet provides resources for dealing with personal finances that may have been affected by the pandemic and includes resources for those who may need to seek professional support.
