🎄 Coping at Christmas 🎄

The holidays aren’t easy for everyone. Here are 4 simple ways to look after yourself and others:

✅ Connect and say hello, meet a friend, or volunteer. Small interactions can lift your mood.
✅ Plan your days as structure helps, especially if you’re feeling lonely or grieving.
✅ Self-care matters – Rest, say no when needed, and do things you enjoy without guilt.
✅ Reach out as support is always available: Samaritans & Cruse Bereavement Care are here to help.

Take time to check in on colleagues, family, and friends. And on yourself too. 💙
