The Most Stressful Events

Posted on July 15, 2021 in Mental Health

Stress makes life significantly harder, interferes with y0ur career and diminishes your physical health. It is important to prioritize your emotional and mental health. The 5 life events listed below are some of the most challenging times in a person’s life. It is my personal experience that many people experience these more than one at a time.

Do you have a plan in place to mitigate stress during difficult changes?

    • Death of a loved one
    • Divorce
    • Moving
    • Major illness or injury
  • Job loss

The top tool to get through these types of events is to have a support group. Your support group is up to you it can be family, a group of close friends, a therapist, a church group, an online group, there are so many ways to be supported and uplifted by others. Remember, don’t try to handle it on your own.

Mental Health America is a great resource for finding a support group for your specific need. Click here to find the list.
