Headspace Launches ‘Weathering the Storm,’ Providing Free Resources for Dealing With Stress and Anxiety During COVID-19

The meditation app Headspace has created new efforts in supporting their community during the current pandemic.

Covid-19 has impacted individuals and families on many different levels and has created drastic changes within many lives. Understandably, many may be experiencing struggles in their mental health, perhaps more than they have ever had. It is important to be aware of the resources that are available to support you and then share them with others.

Daily meditation can be a very helpful practice into our routines to combat anxiety, depression, and feelings of overwhelm. Headspace has gone the extra mile for its users by providing more free meditations, helpful blogs, and social media posts, as well as a free year of Headspace Plus for all health care professionals in the U.S. They are also providing free access to educators during this time.

Their new collection, “Weathering The Storm,” is designed to help support users during these uncertain times and is available free to everyone. There are meditations focused on living through unemployment and simply calming down. There are also experiences designed to help you fall asleep and to offer advice through the new challenges that life may have been bringing.  There are even a few at-home workout videos designed to release stress and increase endorphins.

I love when my headspace app checks in on me like, “hey boo, how are you? You good?”
