New Horizon Community Care is concerned for the health and well-being of those we serve and the greater community. Social distancing is the most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19, but it disrupts many lives. In addition to worries about financials, education, and basic essentials such as food, people are finding their routines completely changed. Social distancing takes its toll on mental health. It’s normal to begin to feel frustration, stress, anxiety, anger, and loneliness. Adjusting to this new situation isn’t easy, but there is help available.
