Holidays, Mental Health and Self Care

AU4H Radio - Real Talk

Lee Cougardawn Roberts and Donna Kshir discuss the sensitive topic of mental health and self-care during the holiday season.

We struggle to accommodate families and friends when many would prefer to have quiet time at home without all the fuss. The stress from trying to appease everyone and meet their needs while we end up neglecting our own takes a huge toll not only on our bodies but our minds. While it can be wonderful to spend time with family it can also be very stressful. What can you do? Self-care is important to maintaining your sanity.
