And remember support is available.

A gentle reminder today:
✨ It’s OK to take a break.
Rest isn’t a setback, it’s part of looking after your mental health.
You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. 💛

During the Christmas break, it’s okay if… 🤍

• You don’t get along with your family
• Christmas has never been your favourite
• You can’t afford expensive gifts
• Your weight or body changes

There’s no “right” way to do this season.
Take care of yourself.
