Lots of us have felt worried about the . . .

coronavirus pandemic and everyone will feel differently about the changes to lockdown restrictions.

If someone’s feeling anxious or worried, you don’t need to be an expert on mental health to support them. Think about using these top tips:

Picking up the phone, having a video call, starting a group chat or messaging someone on social media lets them know you are there to talk and ready to listen.

If someone opens up to you, remember that you don’t need to fix things or offer advice. Often just listening and showing you take them seriously, can help someone to manage.

Ask how people are managing and ask again if you’re worried they aren’t sharing the full picture. Asking again, with interest, can help someone open up and explore what they’re feeling.
