Texans Recovering Together Eases Loneliness During The Holidays

December is the last month of the year and is known for its holiday cheer. However, the social isolation and separation everyone experiences during the pandemic brings forth feelings of depression, social anxiety, addiction, and hoarding; each of these is a product of loneliness. #TexansRecovering Together is doing its part to help those who are isolated because of the pandemic, and from McLennan, Bosque, Falls, Hill, Freestone, and Limestone counties, by providing a service unique from other crisis programs.
