So, if you're the type of person that gets upset, really easy, especially around the holidays, but it doesn't have to be just the holidays. There's so much you can do, and by the time the night is over, you will go home and you will think about: damn, I did a good thing Today.
The festive season, often painted with joy and celebration, can be a minefield for those grappling with past trauma and abuse. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN)', Michelle Bless, a survivor of severe child abuse turned Minister and Chaplain, opens up about her journey and shares practical advice on managing the holiday blues.

She emphasizes the significance of a strong support system and introduces coping strategies tailored to individual needs. Volunteering, she suggests, can be a powerful way to find purpose and make a positive impact, even when personal struggles feel overwhelming.
