(1/6) This #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth focuses on mental health. #MoreThanEverBefore, it’s critical we care for the mental health of ourselves & one another. #SelfCareSunday

(2/6) In times of crises, it’s only natural to have some fear and uncertainty. But there are things we can all do to stay healthy – like eat well, exercise and connect with loved ones.

(3/6) It’s important to remember that social isolation and social distancing do NOT mean disconnection or disengagement. We all have a role to play in promoting connectedness, belonging, and resiliency.

(4/6) Most importantly – If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call @800273TALK (8255) or text 'HOME' to 741741. Free, confidential support is available 24/7 and is just a phone call – or text message – away.

(5/6) If you or a friend needs access to mental health services, please contact a healthcare provider. Telehealth has been expanded as part of our response, and may be available with your health team.

(6/6) If we all take these small steps, we will limit the emotional toll, save lives, and lay the foundation for a mentally healthier nation going forward.
