April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to reflect on how stress affects our daily lives and what we can do to manage it. While stress is a natural response to challenges, prolonged stress can impact both mental and physical health.
Our library offers a wealth of information on mental well-being. This month, take a moment to check in with yourself and explore ways to build resilience. Small steps toward self-care can make a big difference.
