Whenever we turn on the news or scroll through our social media feeds, it’s hard not to be reminded of all the terrible things going on in the world. For some, it can feel pretty important to stay up to date with the latest news and world events, but it’s also crucial to practice self-care when what we're being exposed to is affecting our mental health in a negative way. This week's Changing Lives Podcast focuses on coping with tragedy in the news.
