PANDEMIC SUPPORT GROUP on Clubhouse

Description

Many of us are now living with loss, hardship, poverty, lack of housing or food insecurity. Many of us are still facing uncertainty, lack access to proper healthcare or are in communities or have loved ones who are not vaccinated, and are dealing with the mental health crisis caused by the long isolation. It’s difficult to be brave alone and many of us are still suffering.  We strongly believe that together we can help each other rise to the challenges of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the ones to come, with as much resilience as possible.

We know that although physical distancing can sometimes be an essential public health response to pandemics, it creates the conditions in which mental health and traumatic experiences can quickly escalate.

The overarching fear and stress of being surrounded by the danger of pandemics can be exacerbated by loss of jobs, death of loved ones, health concerns, frontline work, parenting and social isolation and the pressures and difficulties of meeting basic needs.

This group aims to bring people together to share resources, experiences, expertise that’ll help us get through this pandemic and the ones to come.
