29. Minding our minds during the COVID-19
Difficult times for all of us as we hear
about spread of COVID-19 from all
over the world, through television, social
media, newspapers, family and friends and
other sources.
The most common emotion faced by
all is Fear. It makes us anxious, panicky and
can even possibly make us think, say or do
things that we might not consider
appropriate under normal circumstances.

30. Understanding the importance of Lockdown
Lockdown is meant to prevent the spread of
infection from one person to another, to protect
ourselves and others.
This means, not stepping out of the house
except for buying necessities, reducing the number of
trips outside, and ideally only a single, healthy family
member making the trips when absolutely necessary.
If there is anyone in the house who is very
sick and may need to get medical help, you must be
aware of the health facility nearest to you.

31. A Self-Check List
1.Increased anxiety, worry, fear, and feelings of
being overwhelmed
2.Depressive symptoms that persist and/or
intensify
3.Inability to focus or concentrate accompanied
by decreased academic performance
4.A feeling of hopelessness and/or a paralyzing
fear about the future
5.Sudden anger and disruptive behaviors or
noticeable changes in personality

32. 6.Sleep difficulties
7.Excessive crying
8.Isolating or withdrawing from
others,
fear of going into public situations
9.Unhealthy coping - (e.g.,
increased alcohol or drug use,
engaging in risky/ impulsive
behaviors)

33. Psychological HealthTips
1.Acknowledge reactions. Allow yourself time to
reflect on what you are feeling and how you may be
reacting to any fears and uncertainties of the future.
2.Maintain your day-to-day normal activities and
social outlets. Resist withdrawing and isolating
yourself from the support and caring that others can
provide.
3.Seek accurate information from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and limit exposure to
social media and news reports that provide no new
information.
4.Pay attention to positive news instead of only
focusing on negative and fear-producing reports.

34. 5.Follow the protection and prevention tips given by medical
professionals such as the Health &Wellness Center here on
campus, national medical authorities and your own medical
doctor.
6.Practice calming rituals: Stay grounded in the present
moment, which can help you maintain an internal sense of
stability and balance when outside events feel threatening.
7.Seek supports & use campus resources. Reach out to
friends and family and learn about campus resources
available. If you or someone you know has high distress that
does not seem to be lessening, talk about it with others or
come to the counseling center.Your campus community is
here to help!
8.Avoid Stigmatizing or Generalizing

35. 9.Be aware of your behavior or attitude change
towards others from another country.
10.Avoid generalizing anyone who is sick as
potentially having the Corona virus.
11.Examine any irrational or rigid thoughts that can
exist when there is uncertainty.
12.Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God. And the peace of God, which surpass all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds

36. Handling Social isolation
Staying at home can be quite nice for some time, but
can also be boring and restricting.
Here are some ways to keep positive and cheerful.
1. Be busy. Have a regular schedule. Help in doing
some of the work at home.
2. Distract yourself from negative emotions by
listening to music, reading, watching an
entertaining programme on television. If you had old
hobbies like painting, gardening or stitching, go back
to them. Rediscover your hobbies.
3. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids.

37. Handling Social isolation- Continue
4. Be physically active. Do simple indoor exercises
that will keep you fit and feeling fit.
5. Sharing is caring. Understand if someone around
you needs advice, food or other essentials. Be willing
to share.
6. Elderly people may feel confused, lost and need
help. Offer them help by getting them what they
need, their medicines, daily needs etc.
7. If you have children at home, keep them busy by
allowing them to help in the household chores - make
them feel responsible and acquire new skills.

38. Focus on facts, reject rumors and theories
1. Knowledge is power; the more you know
about a certain issue, the less fearful you may feel.
Make sure to access and believe only the most
reliable sources of information for self-protection.
2. Do not follow sensational news or social
media posts which may impact your mental state.
Do not spread or share any unverified news or
information further.
3. Do not keep discussing all the time about who
got sick and how.
Instead learn about who got well and recovered.

39. Focus on facts, reject rumors and theories-Continue
4. Stick to the known advice- hand hygiene and
keeping a physical distance from others. It is being careful
about yourself, and also about care of others.
5. A common cold is not Corona infection.The
symptoms of Corona have been well described. Follow
etiquette of sneezing, coughing, avoiding spitting in public
places etc.

40. 6. In most people, the Corona infection
causes mild symptoms and the person
only needs to follow social distancing till
he/she stops being infective, usually 2
weeks.
Mild infection does not require a
person to be admitted in hospital. Only
people who have breathing
difficulties need to be in hospital.
Most people recover.

41. Handling emotional problems
1. At times of anxiety, practice
breathing slowly for a few minutes.
Try and distance the thoughts that
are making you anxious. Think of
something calm and serene, and slow
down your mind.
2. When feeling angry and
irritated, calming your mind, counting
back from 10 to 1, distracting yourself
helps.

42. Handling emotional problems- Continue
3. Even when feeling afraid, deal
with it by asking yourself:
a. What is under my control?
b. Am I unnecessarily worrying
about the worst thing that can happen?
c. When I have been stressed in
the past, how have I managed?
d. What are the things I can do to
help myself and be positive?

43. 4. Feeling lonely or sad is also quite common. Stay
connected with others.
Communication can help you to connect with family
and friends.
Call up people whom you haven’t spoken to and
surprise them.
Discuss happy events, common interests, exchange
cooking tips, share music.
5. If any of these emotions persist continuously for
several days, despite your trying to get out of it, talk about it
with someone.
If the feelings worsen, a person may feel helpless,
hopeless and feel that life is not worth living. If that happens,
call at helpline number for advice from a mental health
professional or contact your doctor

44. What is advisable
1. Avoid tobacco, alcohol and other
drugs.
Use of tobacco or alcohol or other
drugs to cope with emotions or boredom
can worsen physical, mental health and
reduce immunity.
People who already have a substance
use problem may require professional help,
especially when they feel low in mood or
stressed.

45. 2. Do not shun or judge people with a CoVid
infection. While you need to maintain a physical
distance and keep yourself safe to prevent such
infection, remember they need care and concern.
If you know someone who might have the
infection, tell them about precautions, and how to
get medical assistance, if required.
3. If you happen to get infected with Corona,
remember most people get better.
Do not panic.
Practice self-isolation and take medications
that are advised.

46. Emotional issues after recovery
1. While it is wonderful to recover from
Covid infection, you may actually face
stress after you have recovered and wish to
get back into the community.
You may have fear about your loved
ones falling ill.
2. People who do not understand the
illness well may actually keep you at a
distance, which is also very stressful and
isolating.

47. 3. You may experience feelings of guilt
that you were not able to work or care
for others.
This may lead to feelings of
depression, helplessness or frustration.
4. Use the ways mentioned earlier
to deal with these feelings. Share your
positive story that it is possible to
recover from COVID infection.

48. Ways to cope with stress
Take breaks from watching, reading, or
listening to news
stories, including social media.
Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly
can be upsetting.
Take care of your body.
Take deep breaths, stretch, or
meditate external icon.
Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals.

49. Exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep.
Avoid alcohol and drugs external icon.
Make time to unwind. Try to do some other
activities you enjoy.
Connect with others. Talk with people you
trust about your concerns and how you are
feeling. phone icon
Need help? Know someone who does?
If you, or someone you care about, are
feeling overwhelmed with emotions like sadness,
depression, or anxiety, or feel like you want to
harm yourself or others:

50. Support your loved ones
Check in with your loved ones often.
Virtual communication can help you and
your loved ones feel less lonely and isolated.
Consider connecting with loved ones by
Telephone.
Email.
Mailing letters or cards.
Text messages.
Video chat.
Social media.

51. There are many ways we can increase our
resilience during this time:
1. Take breaks from the news.
After a certain point, it can be more upsetting than
informational.
Make sure the information you do get is from
reputable and non-sensationalist sources. And
evaluate how much is helpful for you to read in a
day, and aim to stick to that limit.
It can be upsetting to hear about the crisis and see
images repeatedly.
Try to do some other activities you enjoy to return
some normalcy back to your life as much as possible.
Make time to unwind and remind yourself that these
strong feelings will fade.

52. 2. Take care of your body.
Take deep breaths. Stretch.
Meditate.
Try to eat relatively well balanced
meals, move your body regularly, get
plenty of sleep and highly limit alcohol
and drugs.
This will help boost your immunity
— and your resilience.

54. 3. Plan for coping with a potentially
sudden drop in social contact (e.g., classes
& events being cancelled.)
One of the most prominent ways
individuals are asked to help mitigate the
COVID-19 pandemic is to practice social
distancing.
That means remaining out of places
where people meet or gather, and
maintaining distance (approximately six feet
or two meters) from others.

55. 4. Create a new, adapted
schedule taking cancellations
into account.
Keep things as consistent as
possible and focus on what you
can control in terms of disease
prevention and more broadly.

56. 5. Do a "worry drop.”
Write out all of your fears in a journal until your
anxiety has dropped by half.
Make a daily list of what is going well, and
remember the things that are going well.
Despite the current situation, maybe you’re able
spend more time with your kids, or reading a book
you’ve been meaning to get to or learning how to cook.
If you have a pre-existing mental health condition,
these recommendations are especially important. If
you have appointments with your therapist or doctor,
keep them. If you aren't feeling well physically, ask if
they have options for video appointments.

57. First, give them a sense of time.
and reassures them that this period will
not last forever.”
Second, talk about close
relationships will increase the sense of
stability for the person experiencing
stress or anxiety.”
Third, normalize the anxiety. this
shows them that they are not the only
one experiencing them.”

58. How can I talk to children about the crisis?
Pay special attention to children during this
time.
Children are “very imaginative,” and
“when they hear adults speaking about the virus in a
very distressed way, they are left feeling nervous or
can imagine disturbing things,”
which can lead to long-term negative effects on the
child’s psyche.
,”

59. Three important strategies.
First, be discreet about what is
being said in front of children and
young teenagers.
“There is no need to be secretive;
they should have some information, but
it is important for parents to not
overload a sense of worry or anxiety
about an invisible enemy

60. Second, spend some quality time with
your children by showing them special
attention and fondness during this time.
Children need “a reassuring
environment during this time so engage
them in fun activities and congratulate them
when they perform a task well.”

61. Third, routines can also
help soothe anxieties,
“Children are immensely
reassured by discipline, not
by being disciplined,
so enlist a disciplined routine
for your child."

62. Guidelines for Parents:
1. Do not panic, stay calm
Children reciprocate your actions regardless of
what they understand.
Your action and conversation about COVID-19 and
related events can either increase or decrease your
children’s anxiety.
Reassure them that you and other adults at their
school are there to keep them safe and healthy.
Speak with your child about their knowledge of the
disease and help reframe their concerns into the
appropriate perspective.
If true, emphasize to your children that they and
your family are fine.

63. 2. Be there for your child
You know your children best. Let their questions
be your guide as to how much information to provide.
However, don’t avoid giving them the information that
health experts identify as critical to ensuring your
children’s health.
Children are exposed to scattered information from
their young friends and social media. Talk to them about
their concerns and questions.
They should feel safe at home, knowing that they
have someone who will listen to them; make time for
them.
Tell them you are there to protect them and give
them plenty of affection.

64. 3. Do not get into excessive blaming
At times of panic, we tend to blame
others.
It is very important to avoid
stereotyping people or their community as
responsible for the virus.
Bullying or negative comments made
toward others should be stopped and
reported to the school.
Make sure everyone at home maintains
the same amount of sanity towards dealing
with the situation.

65. 4. Know what your kids watch
Avoid watching upsetting information when your children
are around. Monitor the television and online content they view.
Speak to your child about how many stories about COVID-
19 on the Internet may be based on rumors and inaccurate
information.
Make your child understand that stories about COVID-19
on the internet may be inaccurate or misguiding.
Talk to your child about factual information on this disease.
Avoid watching repetitive content on the status of COVID-
19 as this can increase anxiety.
Age inappropriate information (i.e., information designed for
adults) can cause confusion and anxiety in young.
Keep your children engaged in safe games or other
interesting activities.

66. 5. Try to keep a normal routine
Promote a regular schedule at
home, this can be reassuring
and promotes physical health.
Encourage your kids to keep
up with their schoolwork and
extracurricular activities.

67. 6. Be open and honest with your child
Children tend to imagine situations far worse than reality.
Provide them with factual data.
Explain to them the current state of the disease in the
country and neighborhood. But fact-check your knowledge before
sharing with others.
Explain to them that COVID-19 is thought to be spread
between people who are in close contact—when an infected
person coughs or sneezes.
It is also thought it can be spread when you touch an
infected surface or object and later touching your regions close to
face, which is why it is so important to protect yourself.

68. 7. Know the symptoms of COVID-19
The Board believes the symptoms of COVID-19
appear in a few days after being infected by the virus or
as long as 14 days after exposure:
The symptoms include; Fever, Cough, and
Shortness for breath.
For some people the symptoms are like having a
cold; for others, they are quite severe or even life-
threatening.
It is important to understand that the symptoms of
COVID-19 closely resembles that of any common flu
and can be easily mistaken by an anxious layman.
It is important to check with your child’s healthcare
and follow instructions about staying home or away from
public spaces to prevent the spread of the virus.

69. 8. Follow basic hygiene and healthy lifestyle
a.Promote good hygiene at home—some
simple steps to prevent the spread of illness:
b.Wash hands multiple times a day for at
least 20 seconds.
c.Cover mouths with a tissue when they
sneeze or cough and throw away the tissue
immediately, or sneeze or cough into the bend of
their elbow.
d.Do not share food or drinks.
e. Avoid giving handshakes for a while.
Fewer germs are spread this way.

70. f. Guiding children on what they can do to
prevent infection gives them a greater sense of
control over disease spread and will help to
reduce their anxiety.
g.Encourage your child to eat a balanced
diet, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly;
this will help them develop a strong immune
system to fight off illness.
h. Avoid getting any illness during this state
of panic, as this can cause anxiety and can peers
might isolate them due to fear.
i.Staying healthy can also help the health
department use the available resources to
contain the pandemic.

71. 9. Be in touch with your school
Many schools already enforce illness
prevention habits, including frequent hand
washing or use of alcohol-based hand
cleansers.
Your school principal will send
information home about any new rules or
practices.
Be sure to discuss this with your child.
If your child is diagnosed with COVID-19, let
the school know so they can communicate
with and get guidance from local health

72. The COVID-19 crisis also heightens the risk
of online child sexual exploitation.
Children are spending more time online
due to school shutdowns, and may be anxious
or lonely because of isolation and confinement,
making them more vulnerable to online
predators

73. Herd immunity
On the brighter side, virologist
Dr Jacob John hopes that more
children getting infected may
contribute to herd immunity.
“Ninety-nine per cent children are
likely to recover without any
problems. This can give them
immunity,’’ says Dr John.

74. In a few short weeks, the COVID-19 virus
has dramatically changed the lives of children
and families.
Parents are losing jobs, schools and early
care and education programs are closed, and the
social and community supports many of us rely
on are sidelined.
At the same time, our public systems,
institutions, and programs are racing to adapt—to
figure out how to fulfill their missions in ways that
keep both their own staff and the families they
serve safe and healthy.

75. How to protect children from corona virus
The Board hasn’t provided any
measures to protect against the virus that
are specific to kids.
Across the board, the agency
recommends
“cleaning hands often using soap and water
or alcohol-based hand sanitizer,
avoiding people who are sick, and
staying up to date on vaccinations,
including influenza vaccine.”

76. Jena Lee
Children will be challenged primarily by a lack of structure
associated with the closing of schools, according to Jena Lee,
MD, medical director of pediatric consultation/liaison and
emergency psychiatry at David Geffen School of Medicine at
University of California, Los Angeles.
“Daily structure is important to everyone, but particularly to
children in their psychological and emotional development,” Lee
told Healio Psychiatry.
“The consistency of schedules, predictable rules and
consequences, and set expectations teach children how to
behave, develop self-discipline and impulse control and,
importantly, a sense of safety and control.
Clinically, we often see an exacerbation of behavioral
problems in our pediatric patients when their routine or structure is
disturbed.”

77. Mental health & Psychosocial Factors during the COVID-19
Crisis
1.People who are affected by
COVID-19 have not done anything
wrong, and they deserve our support,
compassion and kindness.
2. It is important to separate a
person from having an identity defined
by COVID-19, in order to reduce
stigma.

78. 3. Get the facts; not rumors and
misinformation. Gather information at
regular intervals from the WHO website
and local health authority platforms in
order to help you distinguish facts from
rumors. Facts can help to minimize
fears.
4. Protect yourself & be supportive
to others. Working together as one
community can help to create solidarity
in addressing COVID-19 together.

79. 5. Find opportunities to amplify
positive and hopeful stories and
positive images of local people who
have experienced COVID-19
6. Honor carers and healthcare
workers supporting people affected with
COVID-19 in your Community

80. 7. Managing your mental health
and psychosocial well-being during this
time is as important as managing your
physical health.
8. You are the person most likely
to know how you can de-stress and you
should not be hesitant in keeping
yourself psychologically well.
This is not a sprint; it’s a marathon.

81. 9. staying connected with your
loved ones, including through digital
methods, is one way to maintain
contact. Turn to your colleagues, your
manager or other trusted persons for
social support – your colleagues may
be having similar experiences to you.
10. Use understandable ways to
share messages with people with
intellectual, cognitive and psychosocial
disabilities

82. 11. Know how to provide support to people
who are affected by COVID-19 and know
how to link them with available resources
12. Keeping all staff protected from
chronic stress and poor mental health
during this response means that they will
have a better capacity to fulfill their roles.
Be sure to keep in mind that the current
situation will not go away overnight and you
should focus on longer-term occupational
capacity rather than repeated short-term
crisis responses.

83. 13. Ensure that good quality
communication and accurate information
updates are provided to all staff. Implement
flexible schedules for workers who are
directly impacted or have a family member
affected by a stressful event. Ensure that
you build in time for colleagues to provide
social support to each other.
14. Ensure that staff are aware of
where and how they can access mental
health and psychosocial support services
and facilitate access to such services

84. 15. Orient all responders in
quarantine sites, on how to provide
basic emotional and practical support
to affected people using psychological
first aid.
16. Manage urgent mental health
and neurological complaints

generic psychotropic medications at all
levels of health care.

85. 18. Help children find positive ways
to express feelings such as fear and
sadness. in a creative activity, such as
playing or drawing can facilitate this
process.
Children feel relieved if they can
express and communicate their feelings
in a safe and supportive environment.
19. Keep children close to their
parents and family

86. 20. Maintain familiar routines in
daily life as much as possible, or
create new routines, especially if
children must stay at home
21. During times of stress and
crisis, it is common for children to
seek more attachment and be more
demanding on parents

87. 22. Provide practical and emotional
support through informal networks
(families) and health professionals to
older adults, especially in isolation
and those with cognitive decline/
dementia,

As the COVID-19 pandemic it's normal for
people to experience a wide range of thoughts,
feelings and reactions including:
Feeling stressed or overwhelmed
Anxiety, worry, or fear
Racing thoughts
Sadness, tearfulness, loss of interest in usual
enjoyable activities
Physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate,
stomach upset, fatigue, or other uncomfortable
sensations
Frustration, irritability, or anger

95. Restlessness or agitation
Feeling helpless
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Feeling disconnected from others
Apprehension about going to public spaces

These experiences are all understandable in the
face of this significant challenge.
There has been loss of life, rapid changes to our
way of life (e.g., study, work, social gatherings), and
disrupted plans due to travel restrictions and social
(physical) distancing measures in our efforts to slow the
spread of transmission.
People are naturally concerned for their own and
their loved ones’ health and safety. There is still much
uncertainty.
