Sustained stress affects sleep, concentration, mood, and physical health. Learning to manage it protects both wellbeing and daily performance.
Work pressure, family responsibilities, financial worry, and major life changes can all contribute. Support helps you build practical coping strategies.
What is stress?
Stress is the body and mind’s response to demand. In short bursts it can be useful, but when sustained it causes fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, difficulty concentrating, headaches, and physical tension, and can contribute to anxiety and depression.
