We are proud to release the 1st ever, Emotional Wellness Holiday Product Guide featuring BIPOC mental health professionals
The holidays are upon us, and it looks like the stress from work, racial injustice, COVID, and everything else will continue to weigh heavy on our hearts and minds. Unfortunately, the holiday season tends to increase stress and poor mental functioning for people, especially women. Women tend to take on the responsibilities of cooking, shopping, and preparing holiday feasts. Often, the pressure of hosting the “perfect party” can increase anxiety and depression.
Additionally, as the end of the year draws near and the anticipation of a new year is almost in sight, this is a great time to release any regrets or negative energy. How powerful would it be to start 2022 with a mindset focused on your emotional wellbeing? Well, we have just what you need.
With these stressors in mind, we wanted to equip you with tools that can help you navigate this time of year with self-compassion, peace of mind, and most of all, reduced stress. We have selected 12 emotional wellness products that were created by Black and Indigenous mental health professionals to support your wellbeing journey. These products also make excellent gifts for your friends, co-workers, and family members.
