Healing Holidays

Experience Overview

With understanding the difficulties brought upon by the Holiday season and recognizing the rates in increase in mental challenges such as “Holiday Blues”, we sought to engage people in a therapeutic holiday experience. The vision was created during the pandemic while people were in the midst of crisis and challenged to manage their wellness due to stay at home orders. This program seeks to provide families with a unique opportunity to learn the meaning of wellness and engage intangible impact that practices such as gratitude, hope, and quality time can have on mental health. We understand that finances may not always be available, so we strive to teach families how to practice these values through every day activities such as journaling, art, and music to support their wellness. Because we do understand the impact of basic needs on mental wellness, we invite the community to participate in our toy drive and fundraisers so that we can also provide families with a holiday meal and Christmas gifts.
