Stress is our body’s response to unmanageable pressures that we experience.
As a community, we are all going through varying levels of stress brought on by the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stress and anxiety about our health, our family’s health, our financial situation and what that means for our families, homeschooling our children, keeping our businesses open all while not being able to see and physically interact with some of our loved ones and our larger support system.
