The Holiday Peace Project Begins!
We’re launching The Holiday Peace Project! In CYH 215, we get real about stress (ER scares, big-family pressure) and share a simple plan to protect your peace: decide what the season means to you, choose your feelings on purpose, and add tiny anchors—reflection questions, low-pressure games, and small rituals. Plus, a trivia giveaway (win a mug!), a downloadable Holiday Meaning Map, and what’s coming next: comparison/perfectionism and grief in the holidays.
