8 Helpful Tips for Mental Health During Times of Injustice
- Manage or minimize the amount of time spent on social media and news. It might be helpful to take a break from media sources at times. Taking breaks is healthy and can help preserve your mental health.
- Feeling like you do not know what to do is ok. This is a difficult time and not knowing all the answers is understandable.
- Take time for self-care! Relax or do something with loved ones.
- Talk with family and friends. When talking to family and friends, consider their boundaries about the topic to avoid frustration.
- Avoid conversations with people who may be confrontational about the topic.
- Exercise and meditate to help with stress, anxiety, and depression.
- Reach out to a licensed counselor if your feelings of anxiety, depression, or anger becomes overwhelming or if you just need to talk.
- Make time for fun to get your mind off things.
