🎄 The holiday season can be a time of joy, connection and celebration, but it can also be challenging for many. It’s okay if you’re not feeling the holiday cheer or if this time of year brings up difficult emotions. Remember to prioritise your self care: ✨ Set boundaries to protect your time and energy. ✨ Take moments to rest and recharge. ✨ Reach out to trusted friends, family or support networks if you need to talk. If you need support, help is available. Visit our page https://loom.ly/SXwjVdc for a list of services and support options. You are not alone. 💚 Here’s to looking after ourselves and each other as we step into the new year.
