Great tips from Canadian Red Cross on how to care for yourself and others during the winter.

** Warm the person by wrapping them in blankets or putting on dry clothing. Cover the head and neck. Warm the person slowly.

** If hot water bottles or heating pads are available put them under armpits and on the chest only, being careful not to burn these areas.

** Do not rub areas that appear to be affected by frostbite.

Hey there, I’m Bryce .therapist I share about motherhood and mental health.⁣
⁣
A few weeks ago in my stories I asked you what some of your “unmet needs” are in this season of motherhood. This graphic is sharing some of the top things that you all submitted. ⁣
⁣
You felt that these things were big contributors to your feelings of anger in motherhood, and I bet you’re right. ⁣
⁣
Anger is kind of like the check engine light in your car, it’s letting you know there’s something you need to look into. And when we’re talking about anger, that “something you need to look into” is often an unmet need that needs some attention. ⁣
⁣
Do you relate to anything in this graphic? Is there an unmet on here that you notice is a big contributor to your anger? What would you add to this list?⁣
