Well, the holiday season is definitely underway.
For caregivers, this time of year can be especially hectic and stressful.
Each Tuesday, BEST is posting two tips to help support caregivers during this time of year. Here’s what’s on tap for today’s post (adapted from “Stress and the Holidays: Coping Strategies to Keep You Sane” by Helen Hunter, ACSW, CMSW).
