In Jean Hailes Helps With New Anxiety Pages the JH elaborate on:

“COVID-19 has turned our world completely upside down. Borders around the world are closing, lockdowns are being imposed, stock markets are plummeting, and we are being urged to distance ourselves from other people.

Some degree of psychological fallout is inevitable. Stress levels are up. So too is fear. There will be spikes in anxiety across communities.

This is why we at Jean Hailes are launching our updated Anxiety pages. We hope they will help to provide you with strategies to understand and deal with feelings of nervousness, worry, unease, panic and a fear of what might, or might not, unfold”.⁵
