About the Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that can be stressful, producing strong and sometimes overwhelming emotions in adults and children. Public health actions such as social distancing are necessary but can also entrench feelings of loneliness, sadness and worry. The resulting volume of people wanting to access mental health support during this time is staggering, but we should avoid pathologizing all presentations of depression or anxiety as mental illness. Irrespective of severity, national helpline services in our respective countries have played a pivotal role, providing people with much needed support and connecting them to crucial mental health and psycho-social support services.
 
In this eMHIC Special Interest Group webinar, phone and text helpline service leaders from the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK will share how their services are able to play a central role in supporting people experiencing various degrees of mental ill health or addiction.
