Wellbeing during Covid-19

We need look after our mental health even more when our whole community may be feeling worried about their loved ones and themselves. Feeling emotionally strong also helps us to recover physically.

GPs will be able to refer people for practical and emotional support, and Volunteer centre Hackney will lead on the volunteer co-ordination. Family Action are also supporting patients in primary care.
