How To Cope With COVID Fatigue

As we pass the one-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact on mental health continues to be at an all-time high.
 
According to the third poll from the Canadian Mental Health Association – Ontario Division, only 35% of Ontarians consider their mental health to be “very good” or “excellent,” which is a significant decline from the first poll in May (52%).
 
More specifically, Ontarians reported increases in feelings of loneliness (57%), stress (36%), anxiety (35%) and depression (17%).
 
Collectively, these are all symptoms that contribute to a new pandemic-related term known as COVID fatigue.
 
And unfortunately, the continued impact of COVID fatigue on mental health is projected to rise, particularly with the absence of a specific end date to the pandemic.
 
At this important time in history, we are proud to be partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association to offer a free workshop to help people identify when they might be experiencing COVID fatigue and offer strategies to cope with this issue now and in the foreseeable future.
