Mental Health
The main psychological impact of the pandemic has seen elevated rates of stress or anxiety.
As new measures and impacts are introduced – especially quarantine and its effects on many people’s usual activities, routines or livelihoods – levels of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, and self-harm or suicidal behaviour are also expected to rise.
We have put together a directory of mental health supports here:
