Coping with Christmas

We know that Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many people. This can be for several reasons: struggling with eating distress being one of them.

You may also be coping with grief and loss, finding the dark days hard, having high levels of anxiety and feeling the pressures around having a “good” Christmas for example.

We’ve put together a Coping with Christmas pack which explores ways to prepare, coping strategies, and helpful tips for friends and family.

Download the Coping with Christmas pack.

Self care

Self-care can promote resilience, feeling better equipped to manage stress and can enhance self-confidence (as well as other health benefits!)
