Holiday Mental Wellness – Real Hope December 2025

The holidays are fast approaching – they may have come and gone by the time you’re reading this – and while they’re a time of great joy and happiness for many people, that isn’t always the case. In November 2025, the Mississippi State Department of Health had DMH Medical Director Dr. Tom Recore on their podcast to discuss mental wellness during the holiday season and ways to manage stress, maintain emotional balance, and support yourself and others. Even if you’re seeing this after the holidays, he gives practical, real-world tips that can be helpful before, during, and after the holidays. Take a few minutes to watch what he had to share. Remember you can visit DMH’s Real Hope series on our YouTube page, and you can find more podcasts from the Mississippi State Department of Health on theirs.
