April is Stress Awareness and Management Month

Common causes of stress include work, life events, fear and uncertainty. Acute stress (short-term) can be motivational, but left unchecked, it can cause physical and emotional problems. Sustained stress over a prolonged period (chronic stress) can lead to more serious health problems such as depression, weight gain or loss, heart attack, and high blood pressure, to name a few. Learn about the resources, programs and live events offered through USG Well-being that can help you manage your stress on the USG Well-Being website.
