As healthcare workers, you proved your resilience during the pandemic.

Now more and more of us are recognizing the need for emotional support in order to keep going and get the most out of life. Recognizing when we need help or when someone we love could benefit from mental health care is the key to finding support as soon as possible.

Watch for these signs:

• Fatigue
• Behavior and habit changes
• Increased substance use/abuse
• Drastic mood changes
• Increased irritability
• Isolation from friends/stopping previously enjoyed activities
