Do you look forward to the festive season, where you get together with loved ones and friends for traditions and celebrations that only come once a year? Or do you find it a stressful time, as you struggle to manage expectations, while coping with your own mental health issues? In the spirit of compassion this Hari Raya, we look at how festive celebrations can be good for your mental health, and how to provide support for those who may be facing mental health issues and feeling isolated during the festivities.
