Mental Health and Esports: How to cope with coronavirus isolation

There’s never been a more important time for Esports players to stay mentally fit and healthy as during a compulsory lockdown. While much of the world is enjoying the novelty of a government-enforced period of isolation, posting videos, promoting their ability to construct basic homework needs for under 7’s and generally selling how great they are, for many gamers, the everyday life has become an imposed normality.

With no ability to leave the house, however, are gamers more at risk of mental health problems than before the lockdown and perhaps ever before?

If so, it’s a very good thing that the video games mental health charity Safe In Our World which has been around since 2019 World Mental Health Day has launched a hub of information for information, support and advice around the Coronavirus or CVOID-19, however you might refer to the global pandemic. The site has launched with no huge fanfare but with a wealth of help for those affected and can be visited right here.

Safe in Our World is already very well known in the gaming community, with many top Esports players, veteran superstars and ambassadors speaking highly of the positive effects the charity has had around the world.
