People are prone to all types of destructive behavior during this time of year and was wondering what kind of intervention is made available to them via this site and others, in terms of resources etc.

I dont know what you mean really. Why would people snap just cause its the winter (at least in the northern hemisphere). Do you mean around the holidays. I will admit shopping is rough and dealing with family can be a pain for some people. But I am always good this time of year, its a nice time of year, and I dont really know anybody who seems like they may 'snap' this time of year. Could you elaborate for us??

What, you mean like eating too much, drinking too much, and avoiding the phone when it rings because it might be a relative? ;) I do all that during the holidays. :?

Well tis the season to become melancholy and to even out the score. Depression, anger, rage - the whole nine yards - and it's already been documented how many desperate people there are out there especially on these forums - so - before another tragedy hits - was wondering if there are any safety net STICKYS where one could actually find some diffusing instead of going the other route of acting out....

I was thinking along less benign lines - in terms of people going off the deep end during the the holidays and going ballistic.
