Thanksgiving and Hanukkah are usually a time of family gatherings and long-standing traditions, many of which may not be possible this year.  Being frustrated, angry, lonely, and anxious are typical reactions to abnormal circumstances. 

In this presentation, Gittel Francis, LMSW Community Intervention Specialist, will share how to recognize symptoms of depression and anxiety, and will review services available through Jewish Family Service (JFS).  Additionally, she will offer a discussion of stressful issues associated with the holidays, offer some coping mechanisms, and answer some of your most common questions.
