  Outbreaks of infectious diseases can be a stressful time. With additional concerns about the economic impact of the pandemic, many may feel overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, or worry.
  "While COVID-19 is impacting communities in different ways and to different extents, it is traumatic for all of us. We all need one another, now maybe more than ever, to get through difficult times," Bergmann said. "Find ways to stay connected. Call or video chat with friends and family or a support line until it's safe to do it in person."
  The County Administration Center, located at 1600 Pacific Highway, will be lit lime green from May 11-15 to celebrate people in recovery and those who support them.
  It's important for residents to know that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health resources and support are still readily available through County Behavioral Health Services and its many service providers.
  If you or someone you know need help or are experiencing a mental health crisis, you can talk to a trained counselor by calling the County's 24-hour, multi-lingual Access and Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240. Other resources are available on Behavioral Health Services' COVID-19 Resources for Families, Parents & Caregivers webpage or the It's Up to Us website.
