Have a happy healthy Christmas

Whilst many of us take time off over Christmas, our health and mental wellbeing often doesn’t get the chance to rest. With all the extra stress and endulgence over the festive season it’s important to look after ourselves - physically and mentally. 

"For many the festive season is a joyous time spent with loved ones and family - it can also be a stressful and lonely period. We always need to look after our mental health and wellbeing, but the added pressures at Christmas means it is particularly important time for us to consider care for our health. Here we look at ways to self manage our mental wellbeing, doing what you can to stay healthy and where to turn if you need some support or a chat. "
