Pike Fold Primary SchoolMental Health Awareness Week
Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme of Anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem.
Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including exam pressures, relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food. But anxiety can be made easier to manage.
Here are some suggestions from the Mental Health Foundation to find out what might work for you:
