Stress Awareness Day

With the cost of living rising, many people are experiencing even more stress than before and according to the Mental Health Foundation, millions around the UK experience stress and it is damaging to our health and wellbeing. For example, at some point in the last year, 74% of us have felt so stressed that we have felt unable to cope.

A small amount of stress can be useful. It can motivate you to take action and get tasks completed. It can also make you feel alive and excited. But too much stress can cause negative effects such as a change in your mood, your body and relationship issues.

13.7 million working days are lost each year in the UK because of work-related stress, anxiety and depression, costing £28.3 billion annually. 

Now is the time to take action and use techniques to help minimize stress and support others as Wednesday 2^nd November 2022 sees us take part in National Stress Awareness Day 2022.

There are a host of resources out there to support people who are stressed, whether it be at home, work or both with the NHS providing some useful information at: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/feelings-symptoms-behaviours/feelings-and-symptoms/stress/ or specialized organisations that can offer support such as the Stress Management Society or MIND who both offer free support and resources on dealing with stress.
