Physical and Mental Health Resources

The winter season is a time where we are more prone to illness, both in terms of the cold and flu, but also in how we feel mentally due to stress, exhaustion, depression, and other changes to our brains that are out of our control. Be sure to remember these important resources you can use ahead of and following the holiday closedown:

1-Check UNO App

The 1-Check UNO app, available on Android, iOS, and on the web is a helpful screener to alert you to any symptoms you may have that could be related to the COVID-19 virus. The app also has access to important guidelines and reporting resources.
