Care For All in Education: December 2024 Spotlight
As December approaches and the year wraps up, it can be a time of reflection and renewal. December also brings the holiday season, which can be one of the most joyful times of the year, but it often leaves us feeling exhausted, stressed, financially strapped and emotionally depleted. Additionally, there is the challenge of the colder weather and shorter days which can impact mental health and wellbeing.
