Local RCMP are sharing ways to protect against Blue Monday’s effects, which is considered by some to be the most depressing day due to poor weather and financial stress post-holiday season.
In a social media post on Monday, the Penticton-South Okanagan-Similkameen Regional RCMP offered a handful of tips for the third Monday of January.
-The RCMP’s recommended coping strategies:
- Reach Out: Connect with friends, family, or a mental health professional to share your feelings and seek support.
- Practice Self-Care: Engage in activities that promote well-being, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies you enjoy.
- Call or text 9-8-8 anytime if you’re thinking of suicide, you are not alone.
