The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes many mixed feelings and emotions. During this time some people might feel a lot of stress and anxiety due to the dizzying array of demands the festive season brings. Some might have lost family members or loved ones and the thought of spending the holidays without them makes them feel lonely and sad.
Beyond this, the Covid-19 pandemic also plays a significant role in how some might be feeling. Travel restrictions, financial constraints or other covid related matters may be forcing some to be completely isolated during a time that is usually considered family time.
SADAG is hosting a FREE Facebook Friday Video Chat this week Friday, 17 December from 1PM – 2PM on “Surviving the Holidays”. Join the Online Chat as we discuss practical tips & tools on how to minimize stress and anxiety during the holidays.
