Clearinghouse Connections- December Newsletter 2025 – Transitioning into a New Year!

The Self-Help Group Clearinghouse just released their December newsletter, which focuses on navigating the transition into a new year and exploring the expectations around the saying, “New Year, New Me”.

Here’s a snippet: “Not everyone feels drawn to making resolutions, and not everyone experiences the start of a new year with hope. It’s just another day on the calendar for some. For others, entering a new year involves carrying stress, grief, uncertainty, or exhaustion from the months before. All of these experiences are valid, and understanding them can help us approach this time of year with less pressure.”

This edition also includes a Community Voices section, highlighting reflections from 3 members of the community on New Year’s resolutions and the feelings that come up at the start of a new year. Please check it out below or use the following link: https://conta.cc/4nVnq8e

Wishing you a gentle close to the year 2025, and see you in 2026!
