A week long series of video supports to help people with their mental health during the Covid-19 crisis is being launched today.
The five videos from Cork Kerry Community Healthcare aim to help people to understand and manage their emotions, be mindful of others and cope better with distress.
Clinical Psychologist with the HSE Daniel Flynn outlines why it's important to be aware of our mental health.
"Our thoughts often classify things as being good, or bad, or being black and white.
"So lots of the things we're now experiencing in the context of Covid we are classifying as being in the not so good category.
"And when we interpret things in that way, when we have those kinds of thoughts, that has an impact on how our body responds, and our emotions."
