SAFETY AND SUPPORT
Some pressures cannot be managed through planning alone.
If pressure feels overwhelming, persists, affects your daily functioning, or seems impossible to manage alone, reach out to someone you trust or seek appropriate professional help.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, seek emergency assistance.
Asking for help is a responsible action, not a failure.
REMEMBER
You may not control every demand placed on you. But you can identify priorities, assess resources, make a plan, and choose your next action.
INVITE STRESS.
