🎄 Holiday Mental & Behavioral Health Tips 🎄 The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also bring added stress for many—grief, financial strain, or challenging family dynamics. Our MTSS department shares these 3 strategies to support your mental health this season: ✨ Practice Self-Care: Make time for yourself. Activities like reading, exercise, or mindfulness can recharge you. Don’t forget to eat well, sleep, and move your body. 🤝 Connect with Community: If loved ones aren’t nearby, join support groups, meetups, or local events. Regular calls with friends or family can ease loneliness. 💖 Support Others: A simple check-in with a neighbor or friend can brighten their day—and yours too! Take care of yourself and each other this holiday season. 💚 #MTSS #MentalHealthMatters #Holidays
