Common Challenges
9
Many of the strategies that are critical to ensuring collective public health put many people at great risk for mental health issues
![Page 10: Working Well Remotely: Mental Resiliency September 29, 2020...2020, up over 25 percent from 2018, while many others demonstrate remarkable resilience and report no increase loneliness](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071213/6037ef405f8e5c19116f9855/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Common Challenges• We are anxious, depressed,
and traumatized • Some of us are lonely, but not
all • The effects depend on your
personality, lifestyle & demographics
10
In April, 14 percent of Americans were experiencing serious psychological distress, more than triple the rate in 2018
Nearly 1 in 7 U.S. adults said they were often or always lonely in April 2020, up over 25 percent from 2018, while many others demonstrate remarkable resilience and report no increase loneliness & a greater sense of support.
Young people tend to be more depressed, anxious, stressed, and traumatized. Women may be more lonely & burdened by childcare and job loss risk.
Related traits: tolerance of uncertainty and tolerance of distress.

Common Challenges • Domestic violence has increased,
worldwide– In those who were already
experiencing it the violence has gotten worse in nearly 60 percent of cases.
– A variety of factors: people spending more time at home with abusive partners, unemployment and other financial stressors causing conflict, shelters shutting their doors, and police being discouraged from making arrests.
– The threat of abuse is compounding the stress, anxiety, and fear that many people are already experiencing during the pandemic.

Common Challenges• It is worse for disadvantaged groups.
– Poor health– Income– Education
• The effects are compounded by racism.
– Those unequal effects extend all the way to who lives and who dies
12
Pew research suggests that more than a quarter of Black Americans know someone who was hospitalized or died from COVID-19, compared to 1 in 10 white Americans
Nearly one-fifth of Latino adults were experiencing serious psychological distress in April 2020
Discrimination against Asians and Asian Americans has risen since the pandemic started

I’m concerned about someone, what should I do? (student, faculty or staff)• Your Responsibility Is:
– To offer a warm, friendly ear to someone you believe may be hurting, if she/he will let you.
– To try to determine the extent to which a situation is a crisis that needs intervention.
– To activate a supportive network of trained people who can help the person in crisis.
– To consult and refer.– To care for yourself!

I’m concerned about someone, what should I do? (student, faculty or staff)• Your Responsibility is NOT:
– To have eyes everywhere at once.– To be a mind-reader.– To give someone more help than
she/he will allow you to give.– To know the exact right thing to do
in all situations.– To solve another person’s
problem(s) for her/him.– To be ultimately responsible for
someone’s decision of whether or not to commit suicide or harm themselves.
– To put yourself in danger to help someone else.
