Surviving the Holidays

Surviving the Holidays offers resources and support for coping with stress and anxiety associated with the holiday season.

"The holiday season for many adults and children is not always a happy and joyful time as the television and radio commercials would want us to believe. Christmas and Hanukah may cause stress and anxiety. In addition to our busy lives, we must add to this all the preparation needed to make the holidays a "success." Even with all the bright lights and music, it can be a very painful time for those who have experienced a traumatic event over the past year."

Audience: Adults, adolescents, and teenagers
