Mental Health Support During the Festive Season

The holiday season is often seen as a time of joy and celebration, but for many people, it can bring stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. At Belmont Private Hospital in Brisbane, we understand that mental health challenges don’t take a break—and neither do we.

We remain open throughout the festive season, providing comprehensive mental health services to support you or your loved ones, including:

• Inpatient programs for acute mental health care
• Day programs for structured therapeutic support
• Hospital in the Home, offering treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home

Our goal is to ensure continuity of care and flexible options for those who need help during this time.

Holiday Mental Health Tips

Managing mental health during the holidays can feel overwhelming, but these practical strategies can help:

1. Set Realistic Expectations
   The holidays don’t have to be perfect. Focus on what matters most and let go of unnecessary pressure.
2. Maintain Healthy Routines
   Stick to regular sleep, exercise, and meal patterns. Consistency helps reduce stress and improve wellbeing.
3. Stay Connected
   Reach out to friends, family, or support networks—even a quick message or call can make a big difference.
4. Take Breaks
   If gatherings feel overwhelming, step outside for fresh air or schedule quiet time for yourself.
5. Seek Professional Support Early
   If you’re struggling, don’t wait. Early intervention can prevent symptoms from escalating.
