Volunteer-based COVID-19 support network (launched)

April 15, 2020

Strong Distanced United is a volunteer-based COVID-19 support network that just launched to help people connect and get by. We are volunteer-based and are opening various online groups to easy us all through this difficult time.

We invite users to join one of our free online groups. While we all have to stay distanced and away from each other it doesn’t mean that we can’t be strong and united. We are lucky to live in an age of digital connectivity so let’s make the best of it.

Join our Check-In group call to connect with each other. This is a good place to start and meet others for a quick hello. Then at the end, we have time for a light chat.

While we have to distance it leaves many of us isolated or bored. Come join others for fun games and other engaging activities. Pictionary, trivia and other related activities coming soon.

With the current state of things, it’s hard not to feel down and it can be especially hard on some. If you would find it helpful to share what you’re going through or be there for others then come join us for this healing group.

We want to make this support network as helpful for as many people as possible. Please share your feedback, ideas or comments!

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus.

The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell. Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.
