April is National Stress Awareness Month

Stress can be debilitating, and it can cause or aggravate health problems. It is also one of the biggest public health challenges we are facing. Stress is a normal part of human existence so it’s a good idea to learn about and recognize it so we can better manage it. Stress Awareness Month happens each April to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern-day stress epidemic. 
The National Institutes of Health has resources for helping you effectively cope with stress.
