Bright Lights

Step one: bright lights. Indoors, bright lamps and cozy lighting help people feel good. Many Arctic towns light up their streets and schools in winter.

Get Moving

Step two: get moving. People go outside when the sky has a bit of light. They ski, skate, and enjoy the stars and northern lights.

Be Together

Step three: be together. Families plan activities, play games, and spend time together. If anyone feels low for a long time, talking to a trusted grown-up is wise.
