Find no-cost resources to address stress

It’s common to experience stress in your everyday life. Stress is the brain’s and body’s response to any demand, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. It may be caused by a personal, health, or financial issue. Short-term stress is normal, but long-term stress can cause health problems — so it’s important to learn coping strategies.
