December 22, 2020 The Delaware Children’s Department is sharing mental health and resiliency resources to help families nurture hope during the holiday season and beyond. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyone’s way of life in Delaware in so many ways, from causing financial strains to impacting mental health. Even in times of great struggles, however, people can lead hopeful, healthy lives. Here are some tips from the Delaware Children’s Department to help families live resiliently during challenging times: When you are feeling overwhelmed, take a break. Go for a walk or try some slow, deep breathing exercises. Focus on your nutrition plan. The foods we put in our bellies give us fuel and energy for the day. A healthy diet of vegetables, lots of water and other healthy foods will set you on a good path.
