Stress Awareness Month
Stress is the body's reaction to feeling threatened or under pressure. It's very common, can be motivating to help us achieve things in our daily life, and can help us meet the demands of home, work and family life.
But too much stress can affect our mood, our body and our relationships - especially when it feels out of our control. It can make us feel anxious and irritable, and affect our self-esteem.
Experiencing a lot of stress over a long period of time can also lead to a feeling of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, often called burnout.
This Stress Awareness Month, we have created many helpful and useful resources to help you to identify stress, manage stress and inform others about stress.
We are here to help and listen. If you are struggling with stress, you can self-refer into our service here. To find out more about what we offer, please check out our website.
Wellbeing is important to us all. We want to feel good about ourselves, to get the most out of our lives and feel connected to other people.
'Wellbeing' means feeling more than just happy and confident, it means feeling able to cope when things get tough in our lives or when our physical health suffers.
In this pack we have created many fun and creative activities for you to do when you feel like you need to take some time out to relax.
You can download our Wellbeing Creative Pack here.
