The SHE Word - S3/EP12 - Women Surviving Christmas

As we approach the Holiday Season and most are gearing up for the Christmas season with every gift imaginable, carols are playing on repeat, Christmas trees are being dusted off and children are thinking about what they want to ask for from Father Christmas, for some, the approaching holiday season is not a time of joy - it is a time of dread, or sadness and loneliness, and for some it is a season of fear.

Crisis support hotlines see usage rates spike by 25% to 30% on Christmas Day and Boxing Day alone, while crisis relief and emergency housing programs can see spikes of around 40%. Domestic violence increases up to 33% across Europe over the holiday season, and new research shows that 25% of young people experience loneliness during this time.

Well, this may not be an easy conversation to have, but it is a very important conversation - in this episode we are looking at surviving, and hopefully thriving, in the holiday season.

Joining Host Trudy Kerr is Dr Clarissa Sammut Scerri - Counselling psychologist and Family therapist, Kyra Borg - psychologist and manages a service for survivors of sexual assault and survivors of crime at Victim Support Malta, and Sasha Vella who literally needs no introduction - two time guest on The SHE Word, Young Women’s Edition Host, and a very important member of the SHE Word Family.

If you need help and support over the Holiday Season, please reach out, you can call the Richmond Foundation on 1770, Victim Support Malta on 2122 8333, Crisis Resolution Malta on 9933 9966 or Support Line 179 on 179
