If you are worried

• Talk to family, friends, neighbours or a mental health
  organisation about your feelings. It can help you feel less alone.
• Get involved – for example, by helping others improve their
  emergency preparedness. This can give you a sense of purpose.
• Take care of your personal health. Good food, sleep and
  physical exercise relieve stress and improve wellbeing.
• Restrict your news intake. Find a level that works for you
  and spend more time doing things that make you feel good.
• Seek professional help if you have severe anxiety

Talking to children about crises and war

Children of various ages express worry in different ways. Be present and pay attention to signs of stress or concern.

• Explain the situation to the child.
• Listen and invite to a conversation. • Only talk about verified information. Avoid unnecessary details.
• If you don’t have all the answers, be honest and admit it.
• Plan activities with the child to help shift their focus.
