Some on the other hand had more difficulties, these members often were not part of the digital community the Fountainhouse created. But some found other ways to cope with the pandemic.

We also found that the pandemic created a new platform for people that have social anxiety since the implementation of digital tools made it possible to connect with members online. (Less)
