Events and Announcements
April is SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
Sexual Assault Awareness Month is an annual designation observed in April. The mission of this month is to raise awareness about sexual violence around the world and to educate communities on how to prevent it.
April is NATIONAL STRESS AWARENESS MONTH
April is National Stress Awareness Month to raise awareness of the negative impact of stress. There is no single definition for stress, but the most common explanation is physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. While not all stress is bad, long-term stress can have harmful impacts on physical and mental health.
Stress is produced by your feelings and reactions to certain external events, rather than by the events themselves. But while you may not always be able to control the external events causing your stress, applying mindfulness techniques can control your reactions to them. This month, we invite you to think about:
- How we can all help people who face mental health challenges
- How employers are responding to stress and mental health issues
- How workplace changes such as hybrid working are affecting well-being and levels of resilience
- How those suffering from stress and mental health issues can access advice and support
