Stress Awareness month is a national and annual campaign ran by The Stress Management Society to raise awareness of stress and how it impacts our wellbeing, to create a safe space for dialogues surrounding stress and to tackle, reduce and remove the stigma of stress.

This year's theme is Little by Little, a little becomes a lot. #LittlebyLittle 

The theme explores how the act of consistent, small positive actions can have a transformative impact on our wellbeing. The smallest of changes over time can make a significant difference.

There are many times in our lives that we can feel stress. Stress can become overwhelming and cause our mental health to decline. 

The Stress Management Society want to encourage you to take up one action to relieve your stress and do this action for 30 days. This could be Journaling, Meditation, a form of Exercise or any other practice you use. What action could you take and stick to for 30 days? 

The Society use an analogy of building a house, laying down a single brick may not seem significant but bricks serve as a foundation. Each brick represents a conscious choice to prioritize and build your mental health and resilience. They all add strength and stability, making you more resilient to the challenges that life brings.
