Gov. Andrew Cuomo is launching a new effort meant to address mental health suffering and stresses amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has upended school, work and life since March.

People are scared, anxious, fearful, Cuomo said. People are usually comfortable talking about that, he said.

“We’re going through hell,” Cuomo said. “How are you ‘going through hell?’”

Not good, he added. Understandably.

He’s working with his brother-in-law, the designer Kenneth Cole, to launch the “How are you really” campaign to encourage people to open up about the struggles brought about by the virus, social distancing, job losses and deaths.

The state also has a free phone number -- 1-844-863-9314 -- anyone can call. Cuomo described it as an emotional support hotline.
