Hurting yourself or loved ones?

Stress and Anger Management: Understand it. Manage it. Live better.

What is it?

Stress is the body and mind’s response to life pressures—whether from daily challenges, major life events, or internal struggles. Stress may present physically (Ex, high blood pressure) or psychologically (Ex, unwanted repeated thoughts). Anger is an intense emotional reaction to perceived threats, injustice, or frustration. While both are normal human experiences, unmanaged stress and uncontrolled anger can become chronic and disruptive, affecting all aspects of life.
