Earlier this month, our residents participated in a critical “Coping with the Holidays” workshop. Youth and staff dialogued about what the holidays mean to them and what strategies can help promote self-care and stable mental health through this unique holiday season. Some ideas shared included enjoying nature, calling friends, checking in with loved ones, and watching movies that make us feel happy. Ultimately, the group was a great space for youth to receive support from the Pathways community and get positive reinforcement on their plans for a healing-centered holiday.
