Louise: The SAD Holiday Series
Not everyone feels merry when the days get shorter—and that’s okay.
The Louise Branch Library is hosting a thoughtful and informative series on understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), presented by Kashara Bell, Prairie View A&M University Extension Agent.
This free program offers a safe and supportive space to share, reflect, and connect. Join us for one, two, or all three sessions as we explore how to recognize the signs of S.A.D., manage seasonal depression, and discover practical mental-wellness tools for the darker months.
Let’s talk openly, learn together, and support one another through the season.
