April is Stress Awareness Month: Let’s Talk About Your Health
Apr 09, 2025 Medical
At Pelican Urgent Care, we believe that great healthcare goes beyond treating colds and injuries — it’s about supporting the whole person. That’s why we’re taking a moment this April to recognize Stress Awareness Month and encourage our patients and community to check in with their mental well-being.
Why Stress Matters:
Stress is a natural response to life’s demands — but when it becomes chronic, it can take a real toll on your physical and emotional health. Headaches, high blood pressure, fatigue, sleep issues, and even a weakened immune system can all be linked to unmanaged stress.
What You Can Do:
You don’t have to face stress alone. Here are a few small steps you can take to manage stress more effectively:
Take deep breaths and slow down when things feel overwhelming.
Get moving! Even a short walk can do wonders for your mood.
Talk it out. Sharing your feelings with someone you trust can be incredibly helpful.
Prioritize sleep and healthy meals — your body and mind will thank you.
Set boundaries and give yourself permission to say no when needed.
We’re Here to Help!
If stress is affecting your health, don’t wait to seek support. Our team at Pelican Urgent Care is here to listen, care, and help guide you toward resources that can make a difference. Whether it’s a checkup, a conversation, or connecting you with the right provider — you’re not alone.
This April, let’s put health and self-care at the top of the list. 💙
