Coping with Christmas. Download our free guide now.
Christmas is just around the corner and for many, it is a time of year that can be difficult.
With this in mind, we have created a Christmas wellbeing guide which offers tips on how to look after yourself over Christmas, how to help others, as well how you can support Hull and East Yorkshire Mind.
It’s a time of year that often puts extra pressure on us, and can affect our mental health in lots of different ways. For example, you may:
- Feel alone or left out because everyone else seems happy when you’re not.
- Wish you didn’t have to deal with Christmas or find it stressful because of other events in your life.
- Feel frustrated by other people’s views of a ‘perfect’ Christmas, if these feel different to your experiences.
Our guide will help you with these feelings and offer advice on how to get the support you need. To download our guide, click here.
We are also once again running a series of festive support groups for those who find the festive period hard. Our festive support groups aim to empower you with practical tips and strategies to embrace the holiday spirit, while managing your mental health effectively.
