The holidays can be joyful, but they can also feel lonely for some. We spoke with Heather Hooge, a PCN Social Worker, who shared a few simple ways to stay connected and care for yourself this holiday season:

❄️ Get involved with local community events
❄️ Say hello to a neighbour or lend a helping hand
❄️ Practice self-care and use healthy coping strategies
❄️ Volunteer or donate to a cause you care about
❄️ Join a group like a choir, book club, or community dinner
❄️ Create your own holiday traditions

If you’re struggling, reach out for support. Talk to your primary care provider to learn more about resources available to you.

Help is always available with crisis lines available 24 hours a day, including the 403-266-HELP (4357)

Let’s check in on one another this season and make sure no one feels alone. 💛
