LAP RESOURCES
It’s normal for stress, anxiety and panic to arise when we are working remotely, have changes in routine, are social distancing and have concerns for ourselves and our loved ones health and well-being.
If you or anyone in your family has a mental health or substance use issue, it’s essential to keep connected.
Please feel free to contact us by phone, email or text for a confidential chat.
