Suggestions for Coping in Challenging Times

SUGGESTIONS FROM YOUR MENTAL HEALTH TEAM, TO COPE IN A CHALLENGING TIME

As we embrace the Christmas season and the sacred time of Advent, we are reminded of the hope and light that this season brings. As Isaiah 9:6 tells us, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given,” and with that gift comes a message of peace and renewal. In the same spirit, we at the Mental Health Network encourage you to find moments of calm and to care for your mental and emotional well-being during this meaningful time.

We recognize that the holiday season can bring a mix of emotions—joy, reflection, and sometimes even challenges. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to seek rest and support, just as we celebrate the coming of the Prince of Peace who brings comfort to our hearts and joy to our souls. Here are some resources to help in this potentially challenging time.
