Minister updates the Assembly on the state of the economy during Covid-19 crisis
This is the most serious health and economic crisis any of us has ever lived through and Northern Ireland needs bravery, compassion, support and leadership to get through it.
Great work by our friends at Feeling Strong!
From Feeling Strong :
“Feeling Strong is delivering Food and Care Packages to those who are self-isolating as a result of COVID-19. These food packages will provide vital products that people who are self-isolating may not be able to get themselves, and the allocation of the packages will be conducted on a needs assessed basis.
We desperately need donations so we can shop and get these to vulnerable people in Dundee – please spare what you can and thank you in advance for supporting your community – click here.
If you would like to order a package then you can do so here.
We’ve changed our Drop-in service to a Video Chat service to make sure those struggling with self-isolation, or the lack of services at this difficult time, can still get the support they need:
– Receive Peer Support from members of our team
– Talk about the difficulties of isolation, and ask for a food/care package to be delivered
– Talk about mental health, recovery and self-care
– Learn about our services and what other mental health activities are going on in Dundee
The service runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 1500-1800. Visit book.feelingstrong.co.uk to make an appointment, or please pass this along if you know anyone who might benefit from it.
We’ve decided that a one-stop shop for general COVID-19 guidance, Dundee-specific guidance and information about helpful mental health services together in one place would be a really great idea! So we did!
Please note that this is still a work in progress and will be updated as the situation progresses.
