This time of year can be magical, but it can also be a time that many of us feel disconnected and struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation. The expectation that the holidays are a time of togetherness, filled with conversation, laughing and connecting can make these feelings worse.

Connectmas is a festive, hopeful way to support your mental wellbeing while backing the vital work of Mental Health Ireland across the country.
