When in a lockdown, when in a battle with an unseen enemy especially when the vaccine is not yet available, or when the end of the situation still looks bleak, feeling depressed, experiencing anxiety and fear is normal. But finally, there are friends who can help.
Our call for a psychological first aid was finally heard with the Department of Health Center for Health Development in Bicol (DOH CHD-Bicol) launched the “Handog Makinig Covid-19 Crisis Hotline”.
