Protecting Your Mental Health During Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather events, such as bushfires, floods, and heatwaves, can be incredibly stressful and anxiety-inducing. With Cyclone Alfred currently bearing down on south-east Queensland, it's crucial to manage your mental well-being amidst the chaos and fear-mongering.
The holiday season, while often a time of celebration, can present significant challenges for people with mental health disorders. Increased stress, social pressures, and the prevalence of substances during this period can lead to heightened risks of relapse or a case of the 'Holiday Blues' (Alcohol and Drug Foundation, 2024).
