Join our PTSD Advent Calendar today to look after yourself this Christmas.
While Christmas is a happy time for many, for others it can be a challenge, especially when dealing with a mental illness like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Most of us would struggle with some elements of Christmas – whether it’s challenging relationships, addictions, financial strains or simply the pressure of “the perfect Christmas”.
That’s why K9s 4 Valour, who works to increase awareness of PTSD and to provide service dogs for past and present serving First Responders who are experiencing PTSD, put together 24 tips that will help you all the way to Christmas.
It will be especially helpful for people with mental illness such as PTSD, but most people would benefit from some of the tips.
So, share it widely – you never know who you will end up helping get through the holiday season a little bit easier.
For immediate help with any difficult issues, call Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline 13 11 14.
Take care,
Mel & Paddy
