I Contacted the NYC Well Helpline and Learned These Coping Methods

NOTE: Please check the official resources for the most up-to-date info regarding the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and official advice:
— Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
— World Health Organization (WHO)
— New York State Department of Health

In NYC, you can also text “COVID” to 692-692 for real-time, accurate updates.

I first learned about the NYC Well helpline like most other New Yorkers. It showed up in a text message alert. I’d signed up for Notify NYC alerts.

The Notify NYC system has been in place since 2007, but I’d specifically opted-in for any COVID-19 alerts. The Notify NYC system is New York City’s official source for information about emergency alerts and important city services, which can be targeted to your specific interests or neighborhoods.
