Hingham, MA and South Weymouth, MA, Jun 23, 2020 -- The shutdown for the Covid-19 pandemic left many with a feeling of helplessness. Hingham resident Shelly Osterberg and her friends, Amy Crean and Kathleen Thrun, also of Hingham, Kirsty Nicholson of Scituate and Carolyn Wright of Norwell, who met regularly for lunch, certainly felt the impact and decided to do something to help. The five friends formed FLAG (Front Line Appreciate Group) Boston, a group committed to bringing meals to health care professionals on the South Shore, including South Shore Hospital. For this effort, FLAG Boston has been named the recipient of The Smiling Neighbor award given by South Weymouth Dentist Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD.

“A friend of mine shared with me an effort she had just started in Michigan, which involved raising money to buy meals for healthcare workers which were made and delivered by local restaurants. My friends and I decided to set something like that up for the South Shore and Boston area and that’s how FLAG Boston started,” said Osterberg.

FLAG Boston set up a Facebook group and began fundraising, primarily online. The group started on March 31st and ultimately raised $47,709. They coordinated restaurants, caterers, cafes, bagel shops and other eateries to deliver meals from Weymouth to Cape Cod to Newtown-Wellesley. The last meal was delivered on June 5th by Atlantic Bagel of Hingham to South Shore Hospital.

“The pandemic has hit so many people so hard. It was very gratifying to do something nice for people providing critical medical care and at the same time help out the restaurant owners, many who have been devasted by the shutdown,” said Osterberg. “For my business, I work at home. So, the shutdown didn’t impact me that way. I just wanted to help and was grateful to find a way to do so through FLAG Boston.”

In lieu of the usual honors for being selected a Smiling Neighbor—either a $50 gift card to Stockholders or a Sonicare Easy Clean model. Osterberg chose the toothbrush.

“What FLAG Boston accomplished in such a short amount of time makes this group very worthy of our Smiling Neighbor award,” said Dr. Wolfert.

The mental healthcare blog is seeking local clinics in the USA to help spread awareness on rising depression rates during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United-States of America.

New York City, NY - USA | June 16th, 2020 -- Mental healthcare and lifestyle blog Living With Depression has announced a partnership program aiming to work with US mental health clinics. The program seeks to help spread awareness on the importance of strong mental healthcare and easier access to care via telehealth in the wake of COVID-19.

Growing Depression Rates Raise Concerns

Data collected by Healthline and YouGov in April find that Americans are experiencing significant and sustained increases in symptoms of depression as a result of COVID-19, with particularly increased anxiety levels among African-Americans as the national death toll reaches over 110,000, and unemployment levels have plummeted to a record low.

Coupled with the economic fears initiated by months of mandated lockdowns, the unhealthy effects of isolation, and grief, the Conversation reports that the risk of developing depression or similar serious mental health issues is eight times higher this year than previous years.

Despite this, there are still many obstacles in the way towards adequate mental healthcare for most affected Americans. To help address rising concerns, clinics around the country have begun turning towards telehealth to improve access during the pandemic. But research indicates that we will need a stronger response to mental healthcare issues or risk a clinical depression epidemic, according to scientists at the University of Washington.

The Role of Telehealth

To draw attention to the growing telehealth offerings around the country and the importance of better access to mental healthcare resources and services, Living With Depression is seeking to partner with local clinics, and help Americans seeking mental health services.

“We recognize that the need for clarity and awareness on the topic of mental health is greater than ever,” said the project’s co-owner. “Major depression and other mood disorders will be on the rise as a result of the economic damage this virus has caused, and with social distancing rules still in place, telehealth remains the best way for many to seek help.”

Regarding rising rates of anxiety, the owner said: “The first-line treatment for anxiety disorders remains pharmacology, but access to therapeutic care is equally important. However, mental healthcare in this country is strained and there are limits on what kind of care those who need it the most can afford.

“Symptoms of anxiety and depression are particularly high among those most likely to suffer from complications with the virus, including minorities and those affected by chronic conditions. COVID-19 has led insurance companies to rapidly expand their coverage, often to include telehealth, but more awareness is needed to earnestly tackle this growing issue.”
