COVID-19

As our community faces a new and novel virus we need to be prepared - not just for the virus but to address people's anxieties and fears


One of the most important things we can do as providers and advocates is to empower people with information.

 

When we all have the facts it's easier to make informed decisions.

 

We can help address anxieties and fears by:

 

  • acknowledging that everyone's concerns are valid

  • sharing our own experiences and reactions

  • explaining proven public health responses

  • promoting the evidence 

  • dispelling the myths

  • modelling healthy behaviors
