Coronavirus Covid-19 Update
During this period of crisis there is an increasing amount of information available relating to coronavirus and COVID-19. In a socially responsive effort to provide credible, relevant and useful information a list of resources, articles and websites are provided below.
They are broadly compiled into 3 groupings:
1) Managing mental health
2) Children, adolescents and parenting
3) Credible updated information sources.
As this is an on-going and fluid situation we will adapt and update the list as necessary.
