PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID
RE: COVID-19
 The concerns of getting or passing on COVID-19 are real for all of us. As members of CHI Health EAP, we are here to serve and we want to be safe. Here are a few psychological tips to help you and/or your staff cope with the fear and anxiety that is understandable during stressful times like this:
  Encourage self-care for self and others through:

• Deep breathing
  
• Getting some exercise (walking, yoga, stretching)
  
• Drinking plenty of water
  
• Listening to music you love
  
• Eating healthy foods
  
• Getting proper amount of sleep and rest
  
• Giving yourself time to unwind at the end of your shift
  
• Staying connected with family, friends and co-workers
  
• Doing what you can to remain hopeful and positive
  
• Avoiding alcohol or street drugs to manage your stress
  
• Avoiding over-reliance on social media for information
