Special Resources During Social Distancing
During this time of social distancing across the nation in response to COVID-19 pandemic, it is understandable and even likely that you are experiencing a wide range of emotions including elevated stress levels, increased anxiety, fear for your health and the health of your loved ones, frustration, anger, depression, loneliness, boredom, and much more.
Know that you are not alone, we are here for you. UUCSR has compiled a list of resources to help get you through this trying and unprecedented time. Below you will find important local resources available to the community as well as virtual events and conversations at Shelter Rock where joys and concerns can be shared.
