STRESS Awareness MONTH
April is National Stress Awareness Month. Our collective stress is palpable and
inescapable at this time. We are working from home, maybe in total isolation,
juggling childcare and homeschooling, or working on the front lines of a
pandemic. Stress at this magnitude and persisting over long periods of time can
severely impact our mind, body and spirit. High levels of stress can decrease your
immunity, so this is a time to employ all of your self-care tools to maintain your
health. Please take advantage of the JHU Wellness Program resources to add to
your self-care tool box to help support you through this time .
As the events surrounding
the COVID-19 outbreak continue
to unfold, it is understandable
that you may be feeling
increasing stress. Information is
rapidly changing and can be
confusing, overwhelming, and
even scary. But, it is possible to
learn techniques to better
manage and relieve stress.
Join the live webinar,
Strategies for Stress Relief onWed., April 22 from 12 to 1 p.m.
EST and hear tips to help you
get through this and other
stressful times.
