COVID-19 Counseling

FOR ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY!

As the coronavirus sweeps across various nations and death tolls climb, many people are finding themselves worried, maybe even panicked, about the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.

You can hardly be blamed for feeling anxious, depressed, or even suicidal about the changes to your lifestyle that the coronavirus represents.

Psychological Changes

The threat of loss of life, loss of your job, loss of human contact, and maybe even the loss of your home, can be devastating.

This may result in feelings and emotions that can be very difficult to deal with. During these trying times, Ed is using technology to help people while avoiding contact.

“When a disease outbreak [like COVID-19] occurs, people tend to panic due to the fear of the unknown and deeply unsettling lack of control they experience. The constant news cycle, misinformation and bombardment of fearful messages on social media at this time seems to have people especially panicked.”

— Haley Neidich, Psychotherapist

The Psychology of a Pandemic

The word, “Pandemic”, can bring out a lot of emotions, including fears and uncertainty about the future.

People struggle with issues such as not being able to visit their loved ones in care facilities, and how to cope with saying goodbye to loved ones that have died, due to fears of contamination.

There are few opportunities to escape, especially for healthcare workers and their patients. The good news is that technology has come to the rescue including the use of Telehealth systems. The very best Telehealth system for Coronavirus counseling is our TeleHeart™ system which gives you access to well qualified Counselors, through our HeartCare Network™, at a reasonable price.

The great news is that we offer discounts for healthcare professionals!

Kids and Teens and COVID-19

Children and teens react, in part, on what they see from the adults around them.

When parents and caregivers deal with the COVID-19 calmly and confidently, they can provide the best support for their children. Parents can be more reassuring to others around them, especially children, if they are better prepared.

Not all children and teens respond to stress in the same way. Some common changes to watch for include:

Excessive crying or irritation in younger children
Returning to behaviors they have outgrown (for example, toileting accidents or bedwetting)
Excessive worry or sadness
Unhealthy eating or sleeping habits
Irritability and “acting out” behaviors in teens
Difficulty with attention and concentration
Avoidance of activities enjoyed in the past
Unexplained headaches or body pain
Use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs

There are many things you can do to support your child. Following are some great ideas:

Take time to talk with your child or teen about the COVID-19 outbreak. Answer questions and share facts about COVID-19 in a way that your child or teen can understand.
Reassure your child or teen that they are safe. Let them know it is ok if they feel upset. Share with them how you deal with your own stress so that they can learn how to cope from you.
Limit your family’s exposure to news coverage of the event, including social media. Children may misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
Try to keep up with regular routines. If schools are closed, create a schedule for learning activities and relaxing or fun activities.
Be a role model. Take breaks, get plenty of sleep,
