Christmas can represent joy, gratitude and togetherness, but it can also be associated with family and financial pressure, loneliness, anxiety and tension.
Even if you look forward to the holidays, it’s normal to experience periods of stress or difficulty.
It’s okay if you’re not feeling full of joy during the festive season, there are resources available to help.
TogetherAll
TogetherAll offers community and professional mental health support, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The service is registered with the Care Quality Commission and is clinically proven to help those who are struggling with stress, isolation, anxiety, depression and other common mental health issues.
All members are anonymous to each other within the community. And, if sharing isn’t your thing, the platform has tools and courses to help you look after yourself, along with plenty of resources to explore.
Get support. Take control. Feel better.
Free access is available for all Southern Housing residents.
