Limit your exposure or take a break from news and social media if you find that it makes you anxious. • Lean on your personal beliefs and faith for support. • Look for ways to help your community, such as blood donations, checking on older people in your neighborhood, or donating supplies or money to local organizations. • Acknowledge and appreciate what others are doing to help you and your community.
