Gov. Jay Inslee and mental health experts talked Thursday about the importance of Washingtonians seeking help when they need it and looking out for one another during disasters.

“The ongoing pandemic, the historic protests for change, the wildfires, the bad air quality, the loss of our loved ones — people are fighting for their lives, their livelihoods and their homes,” Inslee said during the virtual press conference. “It’s a lot to take in, and that’s tough.”

He said it’s normal not to feel OK and that it’s important to look for signs and symptoms in ourselves and others that it’s time to ask for help.
