Stress Awareness

At some point in our lives, we all face stress but the key thing to remember is that there are various coping strategies to help you manage it. 

The Stress Management Society provide information and advice on all things stress related and give solutions to reducing and managing stress.

There also numerous free apps that are available for anyone to download that supply users with different coping strategies. A few of the most popular ones are:

Cove- allows the user to create music that is tailored to how they are feeling.

My Possible Self: The Mental Health App- focuses on improving behaviour, thoughts and feelings using material from well known mental health experts.

MyLife Meditation- a mindfulness and meditation app.

Stop Smoking

In 2012, the NHS launched Stoptober to help people quit smoking. The scheme encourages people to stop smoking for a month and as a result of this, makes them five times more likely to permanently quit. Support and guidance is offered through their Smokefree app, online support groups and creating a personal plan.
