Happier Holidays! You can conquer holiday stress (and have fun too!)

Do you put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own each holiday season, juggling family, friends, finances, shopping, parties and dozens of other little (and not so little) things until you’re so busy juggling you forget that the holidays can be a joy instead of a chore?

Give yourself the gift of time this year – time for yourself, time with others who understand how you feel, time to learn new approaches that can help make each holiday a happy one! Licensed professional counselor Maggie Dunne, LCPC, CADC, will be leading a support group for anyone interested in learning strategies for handling holiday stress, setting reasonable expectations for yourself and others, and putting the happy back in your holidays!

The group will meet on four Saturdays throughout the holiday season –
November 23, December 7, December 21, 2013, and January 4, 2014.
Cost is $25 per session – or, pay for all four sessions in advance for only $75!
