Stories from our key workers
Here at Mind, we’ve heard from many key workers about how they have been dealing with their mental health during the pandemic. From nurses to physiotherapists to shopkeepers, the pandemic has changed the lives of those on the front line in many ways. We wanted to take some time to share what the last few months have been like for some of our key workers.

If you are a key worker we’ve put together some information about how to cope, including some self-care tips and where to get help. If you’re not a key worker, we’ve also got more general information about how to look after your mental wellbeing during this time.
Take care,
Emma at Mind
