Winter Wellness Resource Pack

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the winter season is quickly approaching (or already here). Winter looks and feels differently for everyone, and as mental health professionals we notice that it can be a difficult time for us and/or our clients. This resource pack has tips, tricks, and interventions for both you and your clients to get prepped and ready to tackle this winter.

We've also included our informative podcast episode and blog post, to make it as easy as possible for you to access all of our winter wellness content. (No need to have more tabs open than necessary!)
