Managing Your Stress During the Holidays and Beyond: Tip #14 – Help a Sistah (or Brutha) Out

The holiday season is prime time for helping those in more need than you. And there’s no shortage of opportunities to lend a hand, give some money, or spend some time helping. Consider volunteering your time and/or money this season. There are so many benefits to volunteering, both to those who receive and those who give. It shouldn’t be hard to find these opportunities. Check with your local churches, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, homeless shelters, etc. Getting involved and helping others can be a great way to lift your spirits, make new acquaintances, and maybe start a new holiday tradition.
