The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) is new and may be stressful for many people in our communities. Fear and anxiety about this new and unknown virus can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Changes to our daily lives including temporary business and school closures, with possible reduced or no income for the family, recommended social distancing and shortages of every day necessities will create feelings of stress and worry that can affect your emotional and mental health.

As we navigate these uncertain times, Health Solutions is actively monitoring the situation and has activated a team that is continuously working on a plan for this situation to include regular communication with the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment as well as regularly monitoring the recommendations by the Center for Disease Control.

Effective Monday, March 23, all outpatient behavioral health appointments will be provided temporarily through TeleHealth video and telephone; and, visitation to our residential facilities is now restricted. As we make the necessary adjustments to business as usual, we want to give assurance to our community that Health Solutions is still providing our core services and stand ready to assist our community through these uncertain times.

For more information on services and tips to deal with fear, anxiety and stress, please visit our website at www.Health.Solutions or call 719.545.2746. ∎
