ARCVIC

For many carers, finding joy in Christmas can seem like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. There's a lot to manage at this time of year - social gatherings, presents, family dynamics, and of course, caring for your loved one. This time of year can be tough. 

The festive season can get hampered by the challenges that come along with caring for someone who has a mental illness. What happens if they get unwell during this time? And where can you or they go for support when everything shuts down? How is possible to manage social events? 

Join this month's Topic Tuesday to discuss ways that you can get through the festive season, and perhaps even find some joy.

We'll discuss:

- developing a safety plan;

- managing expectations with your loved one and;

- provide information about availble services.
