#CopingWithCOVID

As national lockdowns, school closures and panic buying become inescapable realities of COVID-19, every effort must be made to support mental health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already published important information relating to the mental wellbeing of different groups, including care providers, older adults and those with underlying health conditions. And now a new webinar series: #CopingWithCOVID has been launched focused on young people and mental health. Spearheaded by the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, in partnership with the World Health Organisation and UNICEF, the first session was held yesterday – and is below. Session 2 is scheduled for April 15; Session 3: April 29; Session 4: May 6.
