We recognize that this holiday season will look dramatically different than in years past, and this will likely add a new layer of stress to whatever holidays you choose to celebrate.  For many in the LGBTQ community, the holiday season can be a time to spend with chosen family and those who are supportive, but large gatherings and events could put your health at risk.  Finding ways to connect with those you love this season despite the obstacles can help to reduce stress and recharge.  Though the celebration may look a bit different, there are still ways to safely celebrate the holiday season with your chosen family or family of origin.  Below are two resources that outline safe CDC-guideline compliant holiday practices.  They include safety tips, important things to consider when planning holiday celebrations, and various scenarios related to COVID-19 that may occur during the next few months.
