😡 Anger Awareness Week.
This week is Anger Awareness Week, a chance to understand our emotions and learn healthier ways to manage anger. Feeling angry is normal, but how we express it can affect our health, relationships, and wellbeing.

💡 Tips to manage anger:
• Take a few deep breaths before reacting.
• Step away from the situation if you need to.
• Talk to someone you trust.
• Try physical activity to release tension.

If anger is affecting your daily life or relationships, we can provide support and help you access services like counselling or stress management programs, we also have a PCN Health & Wellbeing coach, Suzannah, who is always on hand to help you manage your wellbeing.
If you’d like an appointment with Suzannah, you can submit an online consultation request via our practice website or contact reception to ask for an appointment, stating the reason why you would like to be seen the best telephone number to call you on and Suzannah will arrange an appointment.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
