Emma talks mental health in times of Coronavirus
05 May, 2020
In a rare video appearance, actor Emma Stone is raising mental health awareness while practicing social distancing through the coronavirus pandemic. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the Oscar winner announced the Child Mind Institute's #WeThriveInside campaign, a digital initiative that will help those struggling right now and beyond with tele-health and online resources.
"Most of us are working with isolation, anxiety and uncertainty in this COVID-19 crisis, which includes the 17 million kids and teens in the us that's one in five who have a mental health disorder. We're inviting you to participate our team," she said in the clip.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the institute will release self-recorded videos daily featuring notable names sharing stories of how they stay mentally fit while encouraging families and kids to look at its COVID 19-related resources. Videos will be distributed across all social media platforms of Child Mind Institute. Stone, who is a board person in the organization, exposed what she loves to do when she actually is struggling with anxiety.
"What I do is merely write down whatever I'm worried about. I just write and write and write and I don't believe about it and I don't read it back. "I find it's really, really helpful for me to get it all out on paper. I hope you're staying safe, you're staying strong and healthy and I'm sending you plenty of love," she said.
