What is Stress Awareness Month?

Stress Awareness Month has been held in the UK every April since 1992 to highlight the effects it has on our lives, possible coping mechanisms and to encourage open and supportive conversations about stress.

2023 theme: #choosehope

For over 30 years Stress Awareness Month has had a different theme each year which reflects societal challenges – the theme for 2023 is #choosehope.

“Through our campaign #choosehope we have learned that having hope is imperative to find a way through and beyond our challenges, however, hope isn’t just a feeling, it inspires us to take action. Towards a conscious decision to perceive things differently and create a plan to achieve the desired goal. This has inspired this year’s stress awareness month theme, an invitation to go beyond talk and campaign for taking action and personal responsibility in creating a positive change. We aim to create an opportunity for all of us to consider how we are going to do something to make things better.” - The Stress Management Society

30-day challenge for April 2023

The Stress Management Society website has a range of resources on their website and includes a 30 day challenge for April 2023. ‘The 30 Day Challenge’ allows you to identify one thing you can do each day for your Physical, Mental and Emotional Wellbeing. Doing these challenges for 30 days will maximise your chances of turning the knowledge and techniques into positive behavioural change you can take forward.
