A new year often leads to looking back on the past year to compare what you did to what your goals were. You might even feel pressure to create new goals. When you put those two things together, you might find you feel overwhelmed in January!

But there are ways to manage the stress and anxiety that New Year’s brings. For starters, listen to our January Mindful of Mental Health Webinar — Managing Stress for tools from Cari Hamilton, Ulliance Employee Assistance Program (EAP), to manage your stress better. Be sure to check out all the EAP resources available to you — confidential counseling, well-being portal, legal and financial consults and more — by clicking here to visit the Employee Assistance Program page on PDRMA’s website.

You’ll also find 10 different Journeys and 20 Healthy Habits on PATH that directly address stress. And there are a number of short videos under the Media menu’s Emotional Balance and Meditation headers to help you practice stress-reducing techniques and remain centered.

Don’t let the prospect of a new year overwhelm you; you aren’t alone! Use PATH resources and find new ways to take on 2025 with calmness and confidence!
