🩵 STRESS AWARENESS MONTH 🩵

Dealing with life's challenges
We all go through difficult times, and it can be a healthy reaction to feel negative emotions when facing challenges.

There's no single "right way" to react, and some of us are more deeply affected by events than others. Everyone is different.

Our genes, life experiences, upbringing and environment all affect our mental health and influence how we think and respond to situations. It can also depend on how well other parts of our life are going or how supported we feel.

Being aware of these factors may make it easier to understand when we, or someone we care about, are struggling.

Find out more about what can affect our mental health, as well as lots of things you can do and organisations that can help.

We all go through tough times and the right way to respond is different for everyone. Learn more about what can affect our mental health and where to get help.

Cancer screening is your choice
Cancer screening saves thousands of lives each year, but screening tests aren’t perfect and there are some risks to taking part. The screening invitation you’ll receive in the post will explain the test and the pros and cons. Take time to read your invite carefully to help you decide.

Do you have symptoms?
This checker is not for people that have symptoms. Cancer screening is for people with no symptoms. If you’ve noticed something that’s not normal for you, or you’re worried that you might have cancer, don’t wait for screening. Talk to your doctor as soon as possible, even if you’ve recently been screened. They’ll want to hear from you and you won’t be wasting their time. In most cases it won’t be cancer, but if it is, spotting it at an early stage can make a real difference.

Stand Up To Cancer is a fundraising campaign that brings the UK together to speed up progress in life-saving cancer research. Find out more.
