The most wonderful — and stressful — time of the year is upon us. What’s celebrated as a season of giving, fun, connection and relaxation can also bring anxiety, increased expectations, financial woes and grief. How can we still enjoy the season when we’re feeling overwhelmed or like something is missing?
Let's have happier holidays this year. Use these resources to understand the causes of holiday stress and how we can cope, plus increase cultural literacy around end-of-year celebrations. You can print, distribute or share via social media the materials in this toolkit all season long: lucethealth.com/hopefortheholidays
If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health this holiday season, contact the Mental Health America 24/7 Crisis Text Line by texting MHA to 741-741.
