Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to increase public awareness about both the causes and cures of this common issue, and never has it been more important or relevant than now. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point in the past few years they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope, and this is likely to rise given the pressures Covid-19 and its resulting lockdown has had on jobs, finances and relationships and so on.
What can you do for Stress Awareness Month?
- Talk about stress and its effects – whether with colleagues, family or friends. This helps to reduce the stigma and get conversations flowing.
- Share your coping mechanisms or stories on social media – show others the support available.
- Look after yourself and ensure those around you are too!
