World events can sometimes leave us feeling powerless. We know this isn’t an issue that an app on your phone can solve.
But we also know that people who may be sick, whose loved ones are at risk, or who are anxious about all the uncertainty, need whatever support they can get.
For the next few months, there will be a free section in the app called Weathering the storm, available to everyone. It includes meditation, sleep, and movement exercises designed to help guide you through this. It’s our small way of helping you find some space and kindness for yourself, and those around you.
It’s unlocked now in the Headspace app. If you need us, we’re here for you.
