The holiday season can bring joy, connection, and celebration, but it also amplifies stressors that impact mental health. This presentation will explore the positive and negative aspects of the holiday season, emphasizing how clinicians can recognize and address anxiety and help clients build resilience.
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify four common holiday-related stressors (financial, relational, seasonal, and cultural) and explain their role in increasing anxiety and other mental health challenges
- Discuss and apply at three evidence-based skills and interventions to support well-being during periods of heightened holiday stress and anxiety
- Develop at least two strategies for managing mental health emergencies that may arise during the holiday season, including anxiety crises and other urgent concerns
CE credits available for psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.
