How can I stay mentally and emotionally healthy as COVID disrupts the holidays?

The longer we live with COVID-19, the more clear its toll on our mental health becomes. Now we're dealing with yet another emotional challenge: a holiday season unlike any other, when most Canadians are being asked to hunker down within our own households to prevent the spread of the virus. Plus, it's winter, when many people feel down even in "normal" times. There's hope for sure -- a COVID-19 vaccine is coming. Psychology professor Steve Joordens helps guide us through ways to stay emotionally well until we get there.
