Iso-Resources To Keep Busy

Resource List

Here is a list of resources for you to check out and spend your days in isolation/quarantine. 😊

*Usual disclaimers apply*.

I am not affiliated with these sites. I have found them useful and would just like to spread the word in case you or someone you know find it beneficial. Some links are those that I have come across/looked up, while the rest are from friends’ suggestions. If you know of any and would like to spread the word around, let us know and the post will be updated. Although some are stated as for kids, it could appeal to the inner kid in you or the child within. Feel free to explore some of them - I looked up some of them and found it handy!

Numbers 60 -67 are some Mental Health Resources that you may want to bookmark, should the need arise.

Meanwhile, Stay Safe and Healthy. We will get through this together, one step at a time.
