3. Keeping connected is so important during this time, and other resources Kat mentions include, CHOW, Ben's Friends, and In the Rooms.
4. It's also important for business owners at this time to check in on their employees. Like reaching out to them as a group; letting you know that you are thinking about them and providing them with resources. If you are to reach out to someone, one on one you can approach it by not only checking in but also making sure they know they don’t need to respond, thus taking the responsibility off of them.
5. Other resources that you can use to help take care of yourself during this time include the InSight Timer App, the Headspace App, and go to Kat’s twitter where she tweets out reminders to her followers to unclench.
6. If you are worried about your own or someone's safety, resources that can help are the Crisis Text Line 741 741 and the Giving Kitchen.
