Help reduce loneliness this holiday season
The holiday period is traditionally a time for celebration, but for many, it means loneliness, conflict and distress.
This is particularly the case for those living with mental ill-health – like SANE Peer Ambassador Charlotte who found herself alone and struggling with a depressive episode over Christmas.
‘It was truly a devastating feeling. I took myself off home to bed and didn’t get back out for three days. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t have anyone to ask. I had to find a GP over the holiday period which was very difficult, but now I head to SANE’s community Forums.’
‘Having that connection and community with people who understood my situation whenever I needed it, even in the middle of the night, stopped me from feeling scared about my situation. It gave me so much comfort to know I wasn’t alone.’
SANE’s services and programs bring hope and support to people like Charlotte. Make a life-changing difference for others like Charlotte over the holiday period. Your donation today can help provide critical mental health support, not just for the holiday period, but year-round.
