The holiday season can be a time for celebration and increased stress. One way to manage holiday stressors is to recognize these feelings and create a plan to cope. Holiday blues are temporary feelings of sadness, loneliness, and even anxiety that occur during the holiday season. These feelings are not usually a sign of a serious mental health concern and occur due to increased stress.

Did you know? You could now schedule a virtual walk-in appointment with CSEAP?
These video or phone appointments are intended for state employees who are not experiencing an urgent need for support but would like to talk with a provider as soon as possible. Virtual walk-in appointments are single-session which means if you decide to return, you will likely see a different provider. Single-session counseling is an evidence-based practice and will likely be provided by a graduate or doctorate level counseling student under the supervision of a licensed provider.
