Covid-19 impact

---

COVID-19 is having a significant impact on our lives and many of us have had to make

changes to stop the spread and keep our loved ones and community safe.

Some of these changes, such as physical distancing, staying at home and limiting travel,

have made many people  feel isolated or lonely. 

You may be having trouble sleeping, feeling anxious or stressed, experiencing mood

changes, low energy levels or worrying about the future.

Many people are having similar feelings, and you are not alone. If you’re not feeling like

yourself, there are things you can do to feel better like:

• Keep in touch with family and friends – on the phone or using video chat if you can’t

get together. Talking to people about how you are feeling can help you feel better

• Get enough sleep – sleep will help your body recharge and manage stress better

• Eat well and stay active – eating healthy foods and exercising is good for mental and

physical health.

• Create a routine that works for you – plan your day and have regular sleep and

mealtimes.

When you’re feeling off, it is important you know where to go for help. The Australian Government’s Head to Health website has information and resources from trusted mental

health organisations.

You can access a range of phone and online mental health services or find out more

information about how to keep well.
