Stay in touch
It is normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry
during a crisis
Talking to people you trust can help. Contact your friends and
family.
Stay healthy
If you must stay at home, maintain a healthy lifestyle - including proper diet, sleep, exercise and social contacts at home and by email and phone with others.
Avoid alcohol
Don’t use smoking, alcohol or other drugs to deal with your emotions. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a health worker or counsellor.
Get the facts
Gather information that will help you accurately determine your risk so that you can take reasonable precautions.
Limit massmedia
Limit worry and agitation by lessening the time you and your family spend watching or listening to media coverage that you perceive as upsetting.
Find a hobby
Draw on skills you have used in the past that have helped you to manage previous life’s adversities and use those skills to help you manage your emotions.
Keep routines
Keep to regular routines and schedules as much as possible, including learning/working as well as time for relaxing.
