Hosts Lee Cougardawn Roberts and Donna Kshir continue the conversation on mental health and self-care during the holidays. The holidays can be overwhelming for many people and it often takes a great toll on our mental health, which in turn affects our physical health. We struggle to accommodate family and friends when many would prefer to enjoy a quiet time at home without all the fuss. The stress from trying to appease everyone and meet their needs while we end up neglecting our own takes a huge toll on our mental and physical well-being. While it can be wonderful to spend time with family it can also be very stressful. What can you do? Self care is important to maintaining your sanity. The holidays, mental health, and self-care. Let's Talk About It.
