March 2024 Issue
Upcoming in April
April is Stress Awareness Month. Learning to manage stress and adopting healthy coping mechanisms can greatly enhance our overall well-being and positivity.
Stress is a multifaceted experience that manifests as physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. It’s our response to situations that induce feelings of anxiety or threat. Effective stress management involves learning constructive coping strategies and seeking appropriate support to alleviate its impact on our lives.
Additional focuses in April are World Health Day on April 7 and Black Maternal Health Week Apr 11-17.
