It’s important to take breaks from media. While accurate information is essential, people can be overwhelmed with images of crisis. Let yourself turn everything off, and know that whatever you need to know will be available later.
Connect with loved ones; talking with friends and family about everyday life can help to settle your nerves, and remind you that you are not alone.
Give yourself permission to ask for help – and offer help if you can. There is a vast network of resources and support available.
