How are you?

It's a simple question, and one that many automatically respond to with 'good thanks'.

But how are you REALLY feeling?

With COVID again in Geelong and many exposure sites popping up, you and your loved ones might be feeling some heightened anxiety and stress.

This weekend, we encourage you to check in with your friends, your family, your neighbours and your loved ones.

Barwon Health's Mental Health, Alcohol and Drugs Service clinical director Associate Professor Steven Moylan said it is acknowledged this is a tough time for our community.

"While many people are experiencing fatigue and anxiety from the cumulative effects of several lockdowns, increasing vaccination rates offer a positive message of hope for people to focus on," A/Prof Moylan said.

"All local mental health services are committed to working together with government and other agencies to support the mental health of our community."
