The last few years have been a challenge for many people, first we had the worry of Brexit, then came the pandemic and now we hear every day about the war in Ukraine, on top of many other day to day stresses that effect people. This month is dedicated to stress awareness and catching it in time before it has a detrimental effect on your wellbeing and long-term health. We hear from Stress.org on a great campaign they are running……….
“Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. The last two years have been the most challenging we have faced and in 2020 our services were overwhelmed by people that are struggling and seeking support. This year our theme is Community. We have chosen this theme because lack of support can cause loneliness and isolation, which in turn lowers people’s wellbeing, impacts mental health and can lead to mental illness.
To learn more about stress, the focus of the community this year or to get some useful resources visit https://www.stress.org.uk/national-stress-awareness-month/ where you’ll find plenty of information.”
We’re strong advocates on building your awareness on stressors and this 30 Day challenge is a fantastic resource to get you started
