As Covid-19 pandemic sweeps across the world, it has induced fear, worry and concern among many of us.

The main psychological impacts are increased level of stress and anxiety. Even though, measures like lockdown are introduced to mitigate the situation, its effects on many people’s usual activities, routines or livelihoods are disrupted. Thus, causing levels of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, or even self-harm or suicidal behaviour.
