Holiday Support Thread
Happy Holidays from the online community team!
Holiday periods are often thought of as a time to celebrate and spend time with loved ones.
While it is great to have a break from the daily grind, holiday periods can sometimes be stressful.
Lots of people find the holidays hard so we wanted to create a space to:
- Support each other
- Share ideas for beating boredom
- Have fun
As it is Christmas Eve we wanted to start the thread off by sharing this article on Coping with the stress of Christmas.
Discussion:
What are your favourite things about holiday periods?
What helps you get through the difficulties of holiday periods?
