We know that support doesn't stop being important just because the school day or term has ended. While holidays are exciting for many, they can also be a challenging time.

If you need someone to talk to over the holidays, during evenings, or on weekends—or if you are worried about a friend—please reach out to the resources below. You don't have to carry it alone.
