Light in the Dark: Nurturing Your Mental Health Through Seasonal Change
Join Kun-Hong Lu, LISW, as she explores Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the impact seasonal changes can have on mental health. We will delve into the causes, symptoms, and science behind seasonal mood variations and highlight actionable strategies for supporting emotional well-being year-round, including self-care habits, coping techniques, and signs that indicate the need for professional care. Kun-Hong Lu brings over 20 years of experience working with adults from all walks of life and helps people cultivate practical, personalized skills that foster meaningful change.
