We are facing a mental health crisis today due to the covid pandemic. Anxiety, stress & fear are all around: many of us have suffered panic attacks, grief, loss, separation and a sense of loneliness or despair over the past year. At such times it becomes very clear that we are social creatures and we feel isolated if we are not in human contact with others for prolonged periods of time. Children and young people especially have been denied the fun and playfulness of youth and the normal types of social interaction that later prepare them for becoming well-balanced adults. Yet change is inevitable - nothing lasts forever - not even covid! Now we need to find ways to see the light at the end of tunnel in order to survive and get through these dark times.
