Anxious About the 2024 Election? Here's What Therapists Recommend | KQED
Briefly

"Let's normalize [feeling] anxious because it is a very high-stakes election," said Kelli McLean, a California marriage and family therapist. "This is anxiety-provoking."
McLean encourages limiting exposure to social media: "They're limiting their exposure to these 24-hour news cycles, which can be anxiety-provoking for people."
For parents, McLean advises: "You can explain to them the process without going into scary details: 'Two people are competing and they have different beliefs.'"
Samuel Romero, organizing director of TUWU, stated: "These are multi-year fights. They don't happen overnight... community support is crucial for effective change."
