Wishing you a peaceful time, however you are celebrating today.

It can be a difficult time for some people, feeling stressed, isolated, or uncertain of the future. If you can, reach out to people who may be struggling. Extend kindness to yourself too, you’re doing what you can.

If you’re facing a tough time, you can call the National Mental Health support line on 111-press 2, or the Samaritans 116 123.

Our previous webinar focused on navigating the festive season and ways to look after yourself if things are feeling tough. In this segment, Kath and Tracey discuss grief and loneliness.

💬"Give yourself permission to feel your emotions. Talk to somebody, be open about how are you are experiencing things. Its ok to not feel happy over Christmas”.

The festive period can bring up a mix of emotions. For some people, this time of year can feel difficult. Some people might be feeling low, lonely, or overwhelmed and the pressure to be joyful and connected can make things feel even more intense.

Pressures can feel bigger at this time of year, financial worries, relationship tensions, or simply the sense that life doesn’t look the way we think it’s supposed to, or perhaps you’re experiencing grief and loss.

In one of our previous webinars, our counsellors explored some of the challenges that can come up around Christmas, and shared thoughtful, compassionate ways to navigate them.

There’s no “perfect” Christmas: choose what brings you joy and celebrate in a way that's right for you. If redecorating your kitchen on Christmas Day brings you joy, go for it!

Grief is different for everyone—it might bring feelings of sadness, anger, numbness, or even moments of peace. There’s no “right” way to feel; it’s as unique as your relationship with the person you’ve lost.

In our bereavement webinar, Platfform Wellbeing’s Lead Counsellors Katie and Jody shared insights on navigating grief. They touched on milestones like anniversaries, supporting others at work, and coping with loss after su***de.

We’re living in a world that moves faster than our nervous systems can keep up with, where constant pace, pressure, attention overload and emotional fatigue can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and from others.

When we feel constantly stressed and overwhelmed, our thinking narrows, and workplace relationships can be strained.

But when leaders feel grounded, emotionally aware, and supported with space to reflect, clarity and creativity have room to grow.

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll explore coaching and how creating a dedicated space to slow down can help us think more clearly, regulate under pressure, and make decisions with greater confidence.

Last week’s strengths-based session explored what it really means to hold boundaries in a broken system and why they matter.

Sarah Brown, one of our clinical psychologists, reminded us that boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re part of the relationships we build. They protect the people we support, and they protect us as workers. And when systems are stretched, that’s when we most need our boundaries, but it’s also when they’re most likely to fray.

We reflected on how compassion and clarity need to sit alongside each other. As Sarah shared:
🔴 “A trauma-informed boundary is predictable, transparent and kind, even when it’s firm.”
🔴 “Real kindness is accountable and tells the truth respectfully.”

🙋🏾Sometimes as leaders, the pace can be so fast that decisions can become reactive rather than intentional.

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll explore how coaching can help you step back from the noise, recognise unhelpful patterns, and approach challenges with a fresh perspective. You’ll learn how creating a dedicated space to think can strengthen your decision-making and support healthier team dynamics.
