This episode takes a look at Christmas, or if you’re American ‘The Holiday Season’. It highlights some of the basic issues around seeking mental health support during this period in the UK, and also some of the difficulties people face around Christmas when it comes to ‘spending time with your loved ones’. Andy eventually says more than one sentence at a time, and occasionally, Wil is able to finish a point in less than 20 minutes of rambling. Good times.
As ever, please do reach out to 24/7 support services if you need them. Whilst most professional services do slow down or close down during Christmas, there are still some fantastic services to help carry you through. In an emergency, if you / someone you know is at risk, do call emergency services. And remember to be a non-judgemental, listening ear if you can.
I’m a thirty-something year old with a constant identity crisis and a diverse range of skills. I have a BSc and MA in Town Planning, have been working in academia for 10 years in some capacity, and have been an Esports commentator / journalist for about the same length in time. Somehow, I’m also officially a published author, and have contributed to journals and publications in student experience & Higher Education.
