UNPRECEDENTED TIMES

As our communities continue to stay at home, people are finding themselves in situations they never dreamed they'd be facing. Most of us have prepared for the life we had in January and February, with a job, kids in school, family and friends to visit and play with, and a predictable future. Now, we are trying to maintain a level of activity that is productive but safe, while facing an unpredictable future. Many have lost jobs, lost loved ones, or lost opportunities.

The psychological impact of this unprecedented time is already being seen.
Counselors around the world are seeing a rise in anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and addiction.

MINDFULNESS MAY CALENDAR

To help you through this difficult time, Samaritan counselor Rachel Menge, LCSW, created this calendar of daily coping skills. Feel free to share it with anyone you think might benefit from the exercises.

VIEW MINDFULLNESS CALENDAR
YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF AND OTHERS • Keep yourself calm and centered. Maintain a daily practice of being in the moment, breathing, and body-aware. The Mindfulness May calendar will help.

• Check in on those you care about. Sharing a phone conversation or FaceTime/Skype/video call with friends and family helps stay connected.

• Spend time in nature. Studies show that nature is healing and restorative. Spring blooms are everywhere, so wear your mask (helpful for allergies, too!) and get outside.

• Make a donation to nonprofits who are still working hard to help. Samaritan counselors are telehealth certified, and doing most of their appointments through video therapy. Many who need help have lost insurance, or are unable to pay the deductible. Your donations allow us to help everyone who needs it, and never turn anyone away who cannot pay.

PLEASE CONSIDER A MONTHLY DONATION OF $10, $20, or $30.

We are here for you.
