One of the few bright sides of the coronavirus catastrophe is that it landed at a time in human history when isolation doesn’t need to mean total isolation. Through the magic of computers and phones you can stare into a piece of glass and electronics and see grandma and grandpa. You can remotely consult with your physician.

And now there’s a new way to get mental health treatment: The National Center for PTSD just dropped an app called Covid Coach, a tool that helps people manage stress. It offers breathing exercises and guidance for tackling loneliness and irritability. It lets users track their anxiety and moods. It’s loaded with resources for getting help with problems like substance abuse or domestic violence. It’s available for free in the Apple and Android app stores.
