Within the past 18 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has not only threatened our physical health but our mental health as well. During the pandemic, 4 in 10 adults in the U.S have reported anxiety or depressive disorder symptoms compared to 1 in 10 adults in the previous year. As the pandemic continues, we need to raise awareness about mental health in our community and provide valuable resources to help cope with the present situation.
At NOVA ScriptsCentral, we surveyed our community to better understand some of our community’s stressors since the pandemic. Our goal was to make sure that we captured the community voices of the most vulnerable living among us in our region. We designed our survey to be easy to understand and translated in multiple languages for our non-native English speakers. With the information we collected through this survey we want to help identify resources that our community members can leverage to address the stressors impacting their mental health.
