Wellbeing is a complex combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and social health factors. It’s strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. 

If you’re supporting someone at Christmas, you can:

  • Tell them they’re not alone.
  • Reassure them that it’s common to find things hard at this time of year.
  • Listen to what they say, and accept their feelings.
  • Ask them if there are certain things about Christmas that are difficult for them.
  • Ask what they think might help.
