Supporting Recovery Through the Holidays

As we approach the end of the year, let’s take a moment to focus on opportunities to support one another and strengthen our mission during the holiday season. 

The holidays can be a difficult time for many, and seasonal depression often amplifies those challenges.  Seasonal depression, often referred to as the “winter blues”, is a mood change that typically occurs during the colder months due to short days, reduced sunlight, and holiday-related stress. It can lead to feelings of sadness, fatigue, or lack of motivation, impacting daily activities and overall well-being.

To help manage seasonal depression you can maximize natural light, stay active, practice mindfulness, connect with others, and focus on nutrition. To learn more about how to manage mental health and recovery during the holidays, join our YPR Academy on Thursday, December 12th, at 11am MST/1pm EST. 

Planning holiday events is a great opportunity to bring connection and joy to your chapter and the recovery community. Be sure to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels supported and welcome during this season. 

As we gear up for year-end giving, let’s encourage our networks to support YPR’s mission. Their contributions make a lasting impact and help us to continue to provide recovery support in our communities. 

Please note that YPR offices will be closed on December 24th, 25th, 26th, 31st, and January 1st in observance of the Holiday. If you have any scheduled events that need to be adjusted or removed from the calendar, please contact Emily Burks to get these removed! 

Thank you for your continued dedication to the recovery community and YPR’s mission! 

Best, 

Chelsea Craycraft
