The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it can also bring up difficult family dynamics. Whether it's conflicting schedules, family conflicts, or feeling overwhelmed by the stress of the season, it's important to remember that you have the right to set boundaries and take care of yourself.'

Here are 7 tips for navigating difficult family dynamics during the holidays:

Set boundaries: It's okay to say no to family expectations or obligations that feel overwhelming. You can also set boundaries around how much time you spend with family, or what topics of conversation are off-limits.

Communicate openly: If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed by the holidays, let your family know. It's important to express your needs and feelings in order to feel more comfortable and supported.

Focus on What You can control: Remember you really can't control what comes out of your family's mouths but you can control how you respond to it.

Take care of yourself: Make sure to carve out time for self-care during the busy holiday season. This could be something as simple as going for a walk or taking a few deep breaths.

Seek support: If you're struggling with difficult family dynamics, reach out to a therapist or trusted friend for support. You're not alone!

Practice gratitude : Try to focus on the things that you're grateful for, even in the face of difficult family dynamics. This can help you maintain a positive attitude and enjoy the holiday season.

Practice Active Listening: If you want your family to learn to respect you, lead by example! Try to really hear what they're saying & don't rush to defend yourself.

Remember, the holidays are meant to be a time of joy and celebration. With a little self-care and communication, you can navigate difficult family dynamics and have a meaningful and enjoyable holiday season.

If you're still reeling from Stephen "Twitch" Boss' shocking su***de,  then you may be thinking, "he appeared to be so happy! "

It's an important lesson on how deeply people are hurting & a reminder that everyone that appears happy may not be.

You may be wondering, "How do I tell if my friends and family are struggling?"

We want to walk you through the most common warning signs that are obvious & some that are subtle that can be easily missed that your loved ones may exhibit if they are suicidal.

These warning signs should be taken very seriously. Remember early detection of warning signs can lead to professional help and mental health treatment and which can even save a life.

Our thoughts: "Su***de is a tough conversation that may people try to avoid because most people can't fathom harming themselves. It is important to remember though that people who attempt or complete su***de are hurting & judging them is not what they need to survive. It's up to us to create an environment & space where people feel comfortable opening up when they are hurting."

Our Slogan of No Shame No Stigma is a War Cry.

For too long society has made struggling with your mental and emotional health an issue.

People are viewed as:

➡️crazy
➡️weird
➡️weak

Gaslit into thinking that if you do struggle, you’re the problem.

When in reality EVERYONE STRUGGLES.

Re-read that just in case it needs to sink in.
Whether they admit it or not.

So don’t feel shame.

Don’t let them stigmatize you.

Get the help and support you deserve.
