Coping with Christmas

Christmas time has come to mean different things to different people, but often it’s a difficult time. Getting through Christmas is stressful for many of us, with the money and people pressures that it can bring. However we feel about Christmas, we are surrounded by it. In this group discussion we will support each other to look at how we may be affected by the different aspects of the festival including: values, money, relationships, loss, food and drink and facing the New Year. Throughout the session we will work on making our own personal plan to help see us through.
