Rocky Mountain Winters

Winter can be a difficult season if you come from a warm climate. Here are a few tips to stay safe and healthy during winter.

• On cold days, dress in layers.
• Wear boots that have grip or add traction devices to shoes to prevent slipping on ice.

  • Talk to family on the phone or through video chat.
  • Exercise or go for a walk.
  • Attend a concert or visit an art gallery.
  • If you are feeling lonely, consider the Let’s Talk drop in session at The Rec or visit with Counseling and Psychiatric Services.
