The holidays can spark comparison, perfectionism, and pressure, even when we know better. If you are feeling it this season, you are not alone.

By slowing down, reconnecting with your values, and letting go of unrealistic expectations, you can create a holiday experience that feels supportive and true to you.

We were grateful to have the opportunity to connect with the student services staff of Stevenson
High School and D125 on December 11th at their Resource Fair. Our staff shared information
about our programs, services, and referral processes with school social workers, psychologists,
and counselors who support students every day. Building these relationships helps us work
together to ensure students and families receive timely and compassionate care.

As part of our specialized adolescent program, our clients recently participated in a meaningful food exposure experience where each group researched, prepared, and shared a traditional dish from Turkey, Greece, the Netherlands, and the United Arab Emirates. After cooking together, clients presented their dishes to the larger group, explaining why they chose their country, when the dish is typically eaten, and what it represents in that culture. This hands-on experience encouraged curiosity, connection, and confidence while exploring new foods in a supportive environment. We’re proud of the creativity and courage each client brought to the table.
