Stress Awareness Month

News - 6 April 2024

April is Stress Awareness Month - a great reminder that even the smallest steps taken each day can make big improvements to our wellbeing over time.

This year's theme, #LittleByLittle, puts the focus on making manageable adjustments to our daily routines. Research has shown that just 10 minutes of exercise a day can improve your mood. Positive steps can be as simple as taking a walk during a lunch break, phoning a friend, or spending time listening to music you love.

To find out more about your current stress levels, take this test from the Stress Management Society. For more tips and tools, see NHS every mind matters.
