Response to COVID-19

In this time of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the safety and well-being of our clients, staff, and communities are our top priorities. We remain open and available to assist you in what can be an anxiety-inducing time for many. Our services are now been provided by video conferencing as our team is committed to continuing to provide you with the services you need as we walk through these trying times.

We continue to lift you and your family up in our prayers during these trying times and ask that you stay informed and not worry unduly.

Tips for coping:
We suggest that you practice the following to stay mentally healthy during this time:
• Do not subject yourself to hours and hours of news about the COVID-19.
While it is true that we need to stay informed, it is not healthy to listen to nothing but news about
• Make sure to get enough sleep and exercise.
Sufficient sleep and exercise help relieve stress and enhance the functioning of our immune system. Unless you are asked to not leave your home, you can still go for walks in non-crowded spaces. Getting exercise and rest becomes more crucial as the stress from all that’s happening around us increases.
• Avoid the “herd mentality.”
The herd mentality is the psychological process by which large groups of people blindly follow the actions of others without understanding why they are following. Avoid getting drawn into doing what everyone else around you is doing without understanding the rational reason behind the action. Many people are panicking and acting in ways that are illogical. Stay informed by listening to what the experts in the field of science are saying and act accordingly. The herd mentality will only make things worse.
• Draw on comfort from your spiritual beliefs and spiritual discipline.
Several studies have shown that spirituality is a great way to cope and effective for relieving stress. In this stress-inducing time, people of faith can find comfort in Scriptures and in prayer. Although many churches have closed this past Sunday and may continue to be closed for the next few weeks, we can still practice our faith even in isolation.
