What Makes Us

Stress is a normal part of life. It’s your body’s natural response to challenges, helping you stay alert, focused, and ready to act. Short-term stress can even be motivating or protective.

Chronic stress, however, is different. This is the ongoing, unrelenting stress that doesn’t go away. When it persists over weeks, months, or years, it can affect your body, mind, and overall wellbeing.

During Stress Awareness Month, take a moment to notice how stress shows up in your life and explore small ways to manage it, such as movement, mindfulness, deep breathing, or connecting with someone you trust.

It is critical that everyone has a solid foundation of knowledge about mental health. Promoting mental health equity contributes to the overall health of the community. This mental health awareness month, learn the facts about mental health and have a conversation with people in your life.

Anxiety can look like worrying and overthinking, but it can also show up as struggling to celebrate wins or never quite feeling rested.

Anxiety does not always look the way we expect, and it still people who lived with anxiety deserve care and support.
