Christmas can be triggering for people experiencing grief or who are prone to stress or depression.

Stress and anxiety can lead to higher levels of cortisol in people during the holiday season. This can lead to post-Christmas depression once the holidays are over as the cortisol leaves the body, but dopamine and serotonin are still low.

Knowing how to deal with Christmas stress through mindfulness and meditation is one of the best ways to cope during the holidays.

Other tips for how to deal with Christmas stress include reaching out to your support group, setting boundaries for yourself, and making sure you're not over-committing.
Lastly, make sure to follow the tips to prevent post-Christmas depression.

National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) is an annual observance in December to remind everyone 6 months and older that there’s still time to get vaccinated against flu to be protected during the upcoming season. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are most vulnerable to developing serious flu complications, including people with certain chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease. In fact, last flu season 9 out of 10 adults hospitalized for flu had at least one reported underlying medical condition.

Get Involved in Alzheimer’s Awareness Month!

November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a time to heighten awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and show support for the more than 6.2 million Americans living with it. There are a number of quick and easy ways you can help raise awareness, show support and fight Alzheimer’s disease!

Connecting with others is a vital part of the caregiving equation. However, with today’s busy schedules, caregivers may not be able to find time to, or be comfortable with, attending an in-person group.
