The holidays are upon us and while they are supposed to be a time of joy, the reality is that the next couple of months can be very sad for some people. Being alone is a burden that many bear and sometimes work offers the only respite from loneliness. Coworkers might be the only family someone has. Be kind to each other. Smile. If you need assistance with anxiety, depression, grief, or any other emotional or mental health problem, please use the welfare benefits available to you and seek help. You are not alone.
