International Stress Awareness Day - 5th November 2025

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness about the impact of stress on mental and physical health and to promote ideas to manage the feelings of stress.

People can feel stressed for many reasons: deadlines from school or work, changes in relationships or pressures we've put on ourselves. Sometimes stress can be helpful and motivate us to get things done! However, stress can pile up and this can really impact us, especially if someone experiences feelings of stress for a prolonged period of time - which can leave us unable to cope.

➡️Take a look at picture 2 to see our suggestions of things to try, to reduce stress and to improve mental wellbeing.

These ideas aren't groundbreaking; they are activities to encourage us to slow down and relax 🧠💤

What a lovely evening! 😁

Practitioner Kirsty joined Wombwell Brownies this evening to discuss all things friendships. There were some fantastic discussions about feelings, boundaries and how we want to be treated by our peers.

Kirsty was even treated to a performance by the group about friendships and boundaries from students at High View Primary that they had learnt in school! Amazing!

See you all again soon..
