April is Stress Awareness Month, and this year’s theme, Be the Change, is a reminder to take an active role in your health and wellbeing.
Stress is more common than we think, and it can show up in ways we don’t always recognise. Noticing the signs is the first step:
• Feeling overwhelmed or constantly worried
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability or mood changes
• Physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue
Being the change starts with small, everyday actions—checking in with yourself, managing stress, and prioritising your wellbeing. Over time, these actions can help build resilience and create lasting change.
If stress is impacting your health or wellbeing, your GP can help you take the next step with the right support and care.
