Be patient and kind with yourself and with others; acknowledge and normalize a range of reactions with respect and careThough the crisis may be happening away from us, it can affect us in different ways.Hold your assumptions on who you believe will be affected by the crisis, there is no way to know who may be impacted (whether directly or indirectly).It is important to show compassion when someone shares their struggle and help them feel heard.It is okay for people to have beliefs that oppose yours though it may be difficult to practice compassion and empathy in these moments; it shows you value mutual respect.Opposing views should not be labelled or treated as wrong.However, discriminatory or dehumanizing language about any groups or people will not be tolerated.
