It is a very isolating and anxiety-inducing time for many, and you may be starting to confront painful things from your past or are currently undergoing a painful experience.
Children, adolescents, and adults who have faced challenging experiences in their lives or who are currently facing challenging experiences in their lives need and deserve to exist in spaces where they feel safe, can be heard and are accepted as they are.
