Thu is a Vietnamese international student. During Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdown, Thu changed the way she did some things in her community. Watch how she started online shopping, changed the way she studied, saw her GP, and found new ways to connect with family and friends.

Speaking from experience, Thu wants people to remember: “If you have a problem or if you feel lonely, just speak up and ask for help. You are not alone”.

If you live in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs and have been impacted by COVID-19, please contact Access Health and Community for support. We can help with mental health, drug and alcohol addiction, and financial hardship.
