While the COVID-19 public health emergency has ended, the pandemic's impact is likely to be felt for many years to come as people grapple with the effects of isolation, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. This guide is not designed to provide healthcare advice: for questions about mental and physical health, please seek assistance from a licensed professional. Instead, it is meant to serve as a centralized site for books, ebooks, articles, and web resources for exploring the intersections of public health and psychological health--especially in regard to this most recent pandemic.
If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health crisis you may call or text 988, the 24-hour Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You will be connected to the closest possible crisis center in your area. Dial 2 for Spanish. Go to the 988 Hot Line Illinois website for more information.
To reach caring, qualified responders within the Department of Veterans Affairs, connect with the Veterans Crisis Line. Many of them are Veterans themselves. This free support is confidential, available 24/7, and serves all veterans, service members, National Guard and Reserve, and their families and friends.
