6 November 2019

It’s International Stress Awareness Week (4

November - 8 November).

The aim of the week, which was created by the

International Stress Management Association, is to

raise awareness about stress prevention and the

importance of ensuring those who are suffering

from stress know where to go to seek advice.

It’s a good opportunity for us to highlight

Lifehacks - a fantastic Somerset resource of tips

and shared experience by young people for young

people, on how to manage stress and look after

your mental health. It includes the Little Book of

Mental Health Lifehacks.

New documents have been

added to the Schools

Information Pack on

Professional Choices to offer

further advice, support and

guidance for those working

with children and young

people.

The new documents are

available at https://

professionalchoices.org.uk/
