I would like to do a story on the effects of the pandemic on mental health. A lot of people are in compromised living situations. They’ve lost jobs. They’ve lost people. Having nothing to do often leaves a lot of time to think. I have several friends who have mentioned being unmotivated and upset at home. I’ve seen it on my newsfeed. I want to address this topic and zero in on a few spotlight stories of what people are battling and how they’re coping. I also plan to reach out to maybe Baruch’s counseling center to see if they’re experiencing an influx of clients.
