As the holidays approach, many are met with a wide array of emotions, feelings, and expectations.

This week, we interviewed our Peachey Counselling and Family Support team member, Registered Social Worker, Kate Brockbank. Read what she had to say about coping with seasonal depression, most often referred to as the ‘holiday blues.’
