Christmas can be a wonderful time for families to be together and forge lovely memories, it is also a potentially stressful time.

Many of the frequently asked questions available on sites like Relate (https://tinyurl.com/relate-help ) and Samaritans (https://tinyurl.com/samaritans-help ) highlight the normality of these experiences and have practical tips and lines of support which may be of use.

Other support services are signposted on our Family and Student support pages (https://tinyurl.com/familyhelplinks and https://tinyurl.com/studenthelplinks).

Don’t be afraid of asking for help.
