Stress Awareness Month

We're halfway through Stress Awareness Month, so let's continue to beat stress this month through mindful living and wellness activities. 

Get moving the way you want to! Whether it's starting yourday with meditation, finding peace in the outdoors or catching up with friends and family over a sporting activity, get those endorphins flowing and let off some steam. 

Active Hartlepool have a range of 'Get Fit For Free' sessions taking place from 13th April to 30th June. For more information, take a look at the Get Fit For Free News Article on Hartlepool Now or visit the Active Hartlepool Website and get involved. 

Prioritise your sleep by taking steps to improve your bedtime routine. Reduce screen time before bed and try to make your bedroom a 'tech-free' zone to create a clean and restful sleep environment. 

People in Hartlepool aged 16+ can join Togetherall - a safe, anonymous 24/7 online community where people support each other to improve their mental health and wellbeing. 

Togetherall doesn't use real names and takes people's anonymity very seriously. It's monitored around the clock by licensed mental health professionals called Wall Guides, who interact with the community - members can reach out to them directly at any time. 

Access to Togetherall for people living in Hartlepool has been made possible thanks to Hartlepool Borough Council partnering with Togetherall and it's completely free for anyone wanting to use it.
