Mental Health and Safety at Home During COVID-19

It's important to call to reach out and engage and ask for help and know that, whether it's on our statewide crisis line, warm line, our safety tee app or even our mobile crisis outreach teams, we can help facilitate connecting people to resources.
The pandemic has reshaped our lives in ways we never imagined, introducing new stressors and fears into our daily routines. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos sits down with mental health professionals to discuss how families can navigate these unprecedented times and create a secure home environment. Christy Jones, a Senior Consultant for Mental Wellbeing at Intermountain Healthcare, highlights the importance of keeping your home safe by locking doors and windows and using alarm systems.
She also talks about the critical need for safe firearm storage, especially in homes with young people or at-risk individuals. Kim Myers, Suicide Prevention Coordinator for The Utah Department Of Human Services, underscores the importance of locking up medications to prevent accidental or intentional misuse. Rachel Lucinski from Uni Crisis Services and Safeut encourages reaching out for support through crisis lines, mobile crisis outreach teams, and safety apps.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling unsettled during these challenging times. It provides practical advice and reassures listeners that it’s okay to seek help. Tune in for valuable insights on maintaining mental health and safety at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
