It's been 18 months since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and despite everyone's hopes that it would all be over by now, there is still no end in sight, so what impact is that having on our mental health?

The Quicky speaks to a psychologist and researcher to find out what we can all do to keep our spirits up, focus on the future, and help one another to keep going during this unprecedented time in our lives.

And if you feel like you're not coping or just need someone to talk to, please reach out to one of the following services:

Kids Helpline - Call: 1800 55 1800
