SUMMARY:FYI Series - Holiday Peace: Taking Care of Your Mental Health During the Holiday Season
DESCRIPTION:The holidays can bring a lot of joy\, but they can also come with stress\, family pressures\, grief\, loneliness\, financial worries\, and the feeling that we have to do it all. During our time together\, we’ll talk about practical and realistic ways to care for our mental and emotional well-being throughout the season. We’ll touch on setting healthy boundaries\, managing expectations\, working through difficult emotions\, and giving ourselves permission to slow down and experience the holidays in a way that feels healthy and meaningful. \nAll adults are welcome to this free program. \nJetaun Bailey\, LPC-S\, CSC is a doctorate-level counselor\, assessor\, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor\, certified school counselor\, and college professor who provides community-based mental health services focused on emotional wellness\, stress\, and prevention. As part of her community work\, she provides contract counseling through the Family Matters Grant\, a prevention initiative funded through the Children’s Trust Fund of Alabama and locally housed under Decatur Youth Services\, offering confidential\, no-cost preventive counseling to individuals and families in the community.
