A local mental health charity is reminding people that it's okay not be okay
over the festive season.
Rhiannon McClelland co-ordinator with SOSAD Monaghan says we need to
acknowledge that this time of year can be particularly challenging for some
people and not everyone will be in a festive mood.
She is encouraging families to be open with one another and avoid putting
too much pressure on themselves to have the 'perfect' day.
Rhiannon says that even acknowledging to yourself that you're struggling can
be helpful:
If anyone is struggling or notices that a loved one is struggling they can
reach out to SOSAD Monaghan or Cavan office by phone 24/7.
