Fear, worry, and stress are normal responses to perceived or real threats, this is especially true when we are faced with uncertainty or the unknown. However, this fear and anxiety are more prevalent in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s completely normal.
Runway Pakistan is the Ultimate Hub of Infotainment and is widely regarded as the leading Pakistani publication with readers based in all over the country. Taskeen, together with Runway Pakistan, is providing guidance and advice during the COVID-19 pandemic for health workers, people who are looking after children, older adults, people in isolation, and the general public to help them look after their mental health during these trying times. This is done by guiding them to cope with and understand their mental health better. We are also providing them social support, which can help make our community mentally stronger.
We are certainly looking forward to the future work Runway Pakistan and Taskeen will take on to create mental health awareness on a mass level.
