Connecting People to Mental Health Resources
Experts agree that COVID-19 has exacerbated mental health challenges around the world, and the repercussions will be felt for years to come. We’ve been working with leading authorities around the world — like NAMI, Kids Help Phone and It’s OK to Talk — to invest in the critical areas of mental health support, including handling financial stress, parenting support, coping with loss and grief, managing substance use and taking care of overall emotional health. Today we’re introducing Emotional Health, a centralized resource center on the Facebook app with tips and information from leading experts. The resource will be available globally, with locally relevant information from mental health officials.
allowing the Promotion and Sale of Hand Sanitizer and Surface Disinfecting Wipes

Today we’re scaling back this temporary ban to allow people to promote and trade hand sanitizer and surface disinfecting wipes on our apps.
