B.O.S.S. Sistah Network
"Where her innovation meets collaboration"
B.O.S.S. Sistah Network wishes everyone a Happy Holiday this season and acknowledges the need for women especially women of color to prioritize our mental wellness during this season. The month of December marks "National Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Awareness Month".
SAD is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, most commonly in the winter months.
Gender: Women are twice as likely as men to experience SAD.
Race/Ethnicity: While less research exists, some studies suggest that women of color may be more likely to experience SAD due to additional stressors.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of SAD, having a mental health crisis, or simply needs someone to talk to please seek professional help by contacting the 24/7 988 crisis hotline for assistance.
The holidays can be triggering for some people who may have experienced grief or loss of loved ones and the cold weather can be quite isolating here in the Chicagoland area during the winter months.
