COVID-19 Mental Health Resources

Posted on November 17

We understand this is a time of high anxiety for many. There is an overwhelming amount of information coming at us all. Northland School Division is here to support students, staff, parents/guardians and community members. We have compiled mental health information from several sources.

It is normal for children to feel worried and nervous and have questions. You can support your children by reassuring them about their personal safety and health:

Advise them of steps they can take to stay healthy:

  • Wash hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (sing the ABC’s to measure time), especially after coughing or sneezing.
  • Cough and sneeze into arm or tissue.
  • Stay home if they are not feeling well.
  • Keep hands away from face and mouth.
  • Stay healthy by eating healthy foods, keeping physically active, and getting enough sleep.
