Thank you, Key Workers

As key workers, you are taking care of the sick and needy in an overstrained system, ensuring food supply is maintained for all, keeping law and order in troubled times, providing essential transport, as well as many more support services for the vital needs of all of us during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This unprecedented situation and huge responsibility are likely putting immense strain on you. You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious and increasingly exhausted physically and mentally.

We, here at the International Association for Human Values, are here to support you.
