For individual care: meditation, journaling and blocking out time at lunch and end of day to step away from desk.

It’s also important to care for our coworkers. Encourage them to set boundaries and respect those boundaries. Ask them how they are doing (and care about the answer).

Finally, if you are a coworker are experiencing clinical anxiety or depression, seek professional help IMMEDIATELY. The mental health system in the US is understaffed and it can sometimes take months to get an appointment if it is not an emergency.
