The holiday season can be hard for many people. Make a difference by showing you CARE.
Connect – When someone is feeling alone, we often don’t know what to say or do. But even simply expressing, “I don’t know what to say but I’m here for you and I care about you,” in person or in writing can bring a lot of comfort.
Accept – When we try to help someone, it’s easy to try to direct their emotions or give advice. By accepting others and allowing them to safely express sadness, anger, fear, frustration, and other emotions in our presence, we help them get through the difficult times.
Respond – You can take action by bringing a meal, babysitting, or running an errand. Or you might do something such as sending them an email or written note just to let them know you are thinking about them and care.
Extend – Make a special effort to reach out to others during the holiday season. This helps to bring them encouragement and hope.
