We’re in the first few days of Stage 2 of loosening the COVID-19 related restrictions in Ontario – will people flock to stores and restaurants? If they do, are they worried about getting sick? And what about your server, cook or sales clerk – how can they manage their own anxiety about their risk of getting sick?

Dr. Ouimet is available to answer questions around managing anxiety during the pandemic. This can include everything from worrying about getting sick, to dealing with the stress of working remotely, or managing working and parenting at the same time.
