When holidays are mentally hard

Thanks to the partnership between Maurice Blackburn Lawyers and Mental Health Foundation Australia, this special episode takes a step away from conversations about the law, to explore ways for us to be mentally healthier.

For many, the end of year holidays are a time of intense stress and pressure. But there are some in our community who face greater challenges than most. From those living with a chronic illness or disability, to CALD communities, to adolescents, to people who are economically vulnerable, any holiday period can bring isolation, financial pressures, accessibility challenges, as well as the threat of COVID. So what strategies are available to help when holidays are mentally hard? And how can the rest of us be great allies for those who need support?

Jo Stanley is joined by Harlin Gandhok, counsellor and multi-cultural MHFA ambassador, and Flic Manning, speaker, wellness expert, chronic illness advocate and also MHFA ambassador.
