The holiday season brings joy & togetherness, but it can also lead to stress. Here are a few tips from Beacon Light Behavioral Health to help you manage stress during this busy time & keep your celebrations joyful.

1. Plan Ahead: Create a schedule for shopping, cooking & gatherings. Prioritize tasks & allocate time wisely to avoid last-minute chaos.
2. Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that not everything will go perfectly. Embrace imperfections & focus on enjoying the moment rather than achieving an ideal scenario.
3. Set a Budget: Financial strain is a common stressor. Plan a budget for gifts, decorations & events to prevent overspending and the anxiety that comes with it.
4. Practice Self-Care: Make time for yourself amidst the festivities. Engage in activities that relax you, whether it’s reading, exercising or meditating.
5. Stay Connected: Reach out to friends & family. Sharing your feelings & experiences can alleviate stress & help you feel supported.
6. Delegate Tasks: Don’t hesitate to ask for help. Involve family members & friends in planning & preparations to lighten your load.

Stress is a normal part of the holiday season, but it doesn't have to take over the celebration. By incorporating these tips, you can minimize stress & ensure your holiday season is filled with happiness & connection. If you're still feeling overwhelmed, talk with a doctor. 🥰

Our Story

Beacon Light Behavioral Health Systems was founded as the Beacon Light Mission in the late 1800’s to provide care to children abandoned or orphaned by the early oil and lumber industries. The agency became incorporated in 1903 and the name changed to The Children’s Home of Bradford.

As the needs of our society have changed, the agency has evolved into a private, not-for-profit, social service agency providing quality, professional, education and behavioral health services to young people and adults. Today, Beacon Light Behavioral Health Systems is doing business with names for three separate companies that make up Beacon Light. Those companies are the Children’s Home of Bradford, which holds the management company of the agency, The Children’s Center for Treatment and Education, which all treatment programs fall under, and Ramsbottom Center, Inc. which is the adult Developmentally Disabled Division of the organization. Overall, Beacon Light Behavioral Health System's continuum of care includes Emergency Shelter Placement, Forensic Mental Health Services, Residential Treatment (RTF), Education programs, Community Based programs, Outpatient Services, and long-term residential services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Beacon Light is proud to be a Joint Commission Accredited mental health organization that believes in the following mission: "To advocate passionately for the individuals and families we serve."
