Christmas: How to avoid conflicts and stress during the holiday hustle and bustle!

Christmas, which is considered a contemplative celebration, has a different reality for many. Instead of joy, many people feel stress and conflict, which creates additional pressure in the darkness of winter. Christian Hajek, chairman of the Association for Psychotherapy, emphasizes the importance of early discussions about potential conflicts in order to increase the chances of a peaceful Christmas. In this context, the Psychotherapeutic On-Call Service (PTBD) offers support, which has been committed to access to psychotherapeutic help in Austria for over 15 years. With over 1,000 therapists in cities such as Vienna, Graz and Innsbruck, quick support is guaranteed in difficult moments. By 2024, the number of clients served is expected to reach 5,000.

Commitment to the homeless

The holiday season brings not only family challenges, but also the need to be active in the community. Volunteers help homeless people, especially in the colder winter months. In many cities there are warm buses available to provide hot soup, tea or coffee to those in need on the street. These missions happen especially in the evenings when temperatures drop significantly. The volunteers, often complemented by rescue workers, also distribute warm sleeping bags, hats and hygiene products to give people not only physical warmth but also human care. These campaigns, which require donations, are an important help for the most vulnerable in society. Anyone who would like to get involved here can get training in advance on how to do so Maltese shows.
