The holiday season is often portrayed as a time of joy, connection, and celebration—but for many, it can also be a period of heightened stress, loneliness, and emotional vulnerability. Nevertheless, many people think suicide rates rise at this time of the year. Come join us to find out the truth about suicide and the holidays, and learn some ways to combat loneliness, stress, and disappointment. This session will explore the emotional challenges that can surface during the season and offer practical guidance to help navigate them effectively.

Whether you work directly with clients, want to understand how to support those around you, or are struggling during the season, this session equips you with knowledge that can reduce the pressure and stress, and save lives. Join us to gain valuable insights, practical tools, and hope during a season when they’re needed most.
