How to look after your mental health during the holiday period

In this morning's episode of The Briefing, we looked into how to manage difficult conversations with family members over Christmas. In this afternoon's episode, we turn the mirror inwards.

For many people, this time of the year can be filled with stress, conflict or loneliness. So how can you look after yourself and your mental health through this time?

On this extra episode of The Briefing, we speak with Dr Michelle Lim from the Social Health and Wellbeing Laboratory at Swinburne University of Technology.
