Christmas is a time to reflect on the year that’s been – the joys, the sorrows and everything in between. However, the stress of the holiday season can also exacerbate symptoms of stress, grief and depression.

Lifeline have released a Holiday Guide with practical tips, tools and resources to help you look after yourself and your loved ones throughout this season, including:

  • Why the holiday season can be so hard
  • Managing financial stress
  • Managing loneliness
  • Managing overall wellbeing
  • How to feel connected
  • Supporting loved ones
  • Supporting children and young people

The guide includes articles, techniques, quizzes, testimonials and resources that individuals can complete at their own pace.

Lifeline’s 24/7 phone service, text and chat channels will remain fully operational during the holiday period.

If you or anyone you know needs help – call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For more information, visit the Lifeline Australia website.
