As the holiday season approaches, Pathways to Resilience recognizes that this time looks different for everyone. While holidays may be joyous occasions with loved ones, this is not always the case. Complex family dynamics, historical trauma, loss of family members, and varying family values can contribute to stress, on top of travel, pressure to participate in social events, disrupted routines, and expenses. We encourage you to let go of unrealistic expectations and know that if you are feeling nervous or anxious about the upcoming holidays, you’re not alone: sixty-four percent of people report feeling “holiday blues” at some point throughout this time. Consider the following tips as you navigate the season this year.

Survivors of trauma have long relied on their peers as part of their journey toward recovery and wellness. Talking about shared experiences can help foster a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and community – factors that contribute to resilience and empowerment. In 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recognized peer support models as an emerging best practice as part of the Medicaid program, following in the footsteps of Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and other countries with peer-led behavioral health care models. Peer-led care models promote mutual and reciprocal healing through the giving and receiving of help and support based on shared experiences. Throughout the United States, peers are embedded into a variety of settings as paid employees and there are several organizations focused exclusively on the peer support model.
