Mental health for Internationals during the COVID-19 Crisis

Mental Health Support – Online

Online mental health support, or e-health, is available for anyone experiencing mild mental or social struggles, or for those dealing with depression, anxiety, or relationship tensions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are experiencing a higher risk of depression or anxiety, and it is important to get the help needed, while also maintaining a physically healthy distance.

In this time of ambiguity and uncertainty, it is important to look after your mental health, and some help is available free of charge. Find the resources available to you during this crisis, and read more via Healthcare for Internationals.
