The holiday season is underway. It can be a joyful time, but a stressful time as well. Sad memories, family conflict, money woes…these are a just a few things that can make the holidays burdensome.
So how do we survive until January 1?
This is the subject at hand in “Holiday Stressors,” a featured episode of Mental Health Matters, PEERS’ award-winning talk show that delivers a fresh discussion about mental health. We go to the streets and hear from people in Oakland who have questions about how to deal with personal and stressful situations during the holidays.
Guests B.J. North, a peer support expert, and family therapist Allan Stein answer questions and provide suggestions for getting through the holidays. Click on the photo below to view the video.
