COVID-19 has flipped our world upside down. An often-over-looked impact of COVID is how it negatively affects our mental health and wellbeing.
Vivian from our UX team & former Brainer Susie have worked hard to ease the search for mental health resources. They have created a website, takecare19, which is all about supporting and de-stigmatizing mental health with accessible and inclusive resources.
