Holding Space-Holiday Season🌟

The holidays can be a tender time for feelings of grief, loss, or stress. Acknowledge feelings & feel them without judgment.

Emotions are valid. Be gentle. Healing's not linear & every day's a step forward.

Holidays with Kindness❄️

The winter holidays bring joy & challenges for mental health. Give permission to say "no" & to take breaks. Your mental peace is a gift.

Redefine "perfect" to "perfectly okay as you are."
