Let's Talk About Stress: A 3-Part Series on Understanding and Managing Stress, Session 2: What's Stressing Me?

Stress is an inevitable part of life. While some stress can motivate and encourage a positive mindset towards challenges, other types of stress can have a significant impact on our health and well-being. In recognition of stress awareness month (April 2025), this 3-part series will take a closer look at the nature of stress: what it is, the different types, how to assess our stress levels, and coping strategies for managing stress in our lives. In session 2, we will explore the common sources of stress and the potential effects of chronic stress. Understanding how long-term stressors impact physical and mental health is key to managing its consequences.
