Bangkok Counselling Service 

Are you worried about COVID-19? If you are over 70 years you are at high risk if you contract COVID-19 so isolating yourself is your best chance not to contract the virus. If you are feeling unwell, have a temperature or cough you need to isolate. Some people may be afraid to let others know in case of stigma around COVID-19. This current situation is one that little is known about and it creates fear and worry and in turn anxiety, people feel insecure and concerned about many things such as their well-being and that of their loved ones, their job, paying the bills or putting food on the table. This is a difficult time for us all though especially for older people who are the most vulnerable to COVID-19 esp. if they have other health issues.

Older people that live alone are especially vulnerable as they become more isolated, they may not have to resources to stay healthy to look after their mental health and to keep their mind active to eat healthy food and stay hydrated. 

Bangkok Counselling Service a local mental health service wants to make sure that our elders are getting the support they need so that we all get through this COVID-19 together

We are able to help by making emotional support available for those who are isolated and or isolating.
