April is Stress Awareness Month
Stress is something that we will all go through and the causes vary from work, money and health worries to dealing with the lockdown restrictions and everything in between. Since March 65% of people have reported feeling more stressed than usual during the pandemic.
Stress can lead to other mental health problems when not managed, such as anxiety and it can have other effects on our lives such as lack of sleep, making poor decisions and even impact our relationships with those around us, so it’s important to take steps to manage our stress levels in a healthy way.
