Stress during the holidays?

The holidays are almost here. While this season can be full of joy, it can also be
stressful. We all find ourselves needing to balance work, family, and year-end deadlines.
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed - don't forget to take care of yourself! A quick
walk, a few deep breaths, or stepping away from your computer for a few minutes can
help you reset and refocus.
Our benefits include resources to help you manage your stress and care for your mental
health.
