The holiday season is a special time of the year:  Friends and family gather to share a meal and exchange gifts.  It\u2019s a time to reflect on the year nearly past and to begin to consider personal goals for the year ahead\u2026exercise more, read more, spend more time with the family \u2013 the list is full of potential!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting through the names on your holiday shopping list can be a daunting task. And there\u2019s the greater challenge of choosing the right gift for your aunt, your daughter\u2019s teacher or your best-friend-who-has-it-all this holiday season.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider gift-giving that makes a difference in the life of a patient at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). In any given year, one in five Canadians experiences a mental health or addiction problem. The holiday season can be an incredibly difficult time of year for mental health patients and their families. So it is better to check out Individual therapy guide written by Dr. Ryan Peterson<\/a> to thoroughly opt with your concerns.<\/span> You may also visit treatment centers like Sober Living West Los Angeles<\/a> for rehab programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often overwhelmed with the challenges and continuing stigma around mental illness, many of those in our care are without the small comforts or visits from friends or families. For more information, visit the website for special info<\/a> on addiction support and resources.<\/span> The services of a sober living los angeles<\/a> facility may also help those who are struggling with substance abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized care and serene recovery are hallmarks of One Method Center<\/a>. This luxury rehab center tailors its services to individual needs. Carrara Treatment Center<\/a> offers a unique blend of luxury and effective addiction treatment. Their programs in Los Angeles focus on holistic recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Canada\u2019s leading hospital for mental health, CAMH has pioneered a unique program \u2013 called Gifts of Light<\/a><\/i>\u2013 that delivers tangible gifts and meaningful experiences to thousands of inpatients and outpatients receiving treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the release of the 2014\/15 Gifts of Light<\/i> holiday gift guide, CAMH offers an inspiring way to make a personal connection and have a powerful impact in the lives of our patients. This year, there are 24 gifts from which to choose, ranging in price from $20 for an essential Fresh Start Kit containing basic amenities, to $500 for the Brightest Gift of Light, which represent a whole host of gifts from our 2014 Gifts of Light<\/i> Gift Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not already familiar with Gifts of Light, this is how it works: 1) Select a gift for a patient from the catalogue on behalf of a family member or friend, 2) the Foundation will send you a holiday gift card that you can send to your each of your donation recipients, 3) the tangible gift you chose will be hand-delivered to the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s essential items like pajamas, hats, scarves or mittens or a gift of coffee or a movie with a friend, these gifts remind patients at CAMH they are not alone. This is an important step in recovery and healing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
