Whether you're a parent, a young person, or anyone navigating this time of year, the pressures and expectations of Christmas can feel overwhelming.

For those living with mental health challenges, Christmas can be particularly difficult. In a recent survey, 80% of participants shared that their mental health worsened during the holidays, and nearly three quarters admitted to feeling lonelier even when surrounded by others.

This Christmas, let’s make an extra effort to check in on our friends, family, and loved ones. If you would like to learn more about Mental Health, our funded courses are available through the government’s Adult Skills Fund. They can provide essential insights to gain a better understanding on Mental Health and there is no cost to you to complete a course. 

 
Together, we can help spread not just festive cheer, but kindness and understanding too.
