Supporting Mental Health Charities during Lockdown

摘要

Sample management solutions company Ziath, a manufacturer of scanners for reading 2D barcodes on sample tubes, are making significant donations to two highly acclaimed mental health charities - one in the UK and one in the US - to support their work helping those affected by the stress of living through the uncertainty and restrictions imposed during the lockdown period. Neil Benn, Managing Director of Ziath commented: "Our small company has been working flat out to build tube scanners for the UN/IAEA Covid-19 screening programme around the World. Although we are all tired and working long hours to meet the demand, we are still mindful of the many thousands of people who are stuck inside their house, or apartment with no prospect of social contact, going to work, or relaxing in a bar or restaurant. The stress caused by the current lockdown affects us all, it can be an unseen killer just as deadly as the virus itself. We wanted to help out in our own small way and chose the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) in the UK and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to receive our support."
