April Is Stress Awareness Month
For the 16th consecutive year, April 2008 has been designated Stress
Awareness Month. During this thirty day period, health care professionals
and health promotion experts across the country will join forces to increase
public awareness about both the causes and cures for our modern stress
epidemic.
Sponsored by The Health
Resource Network (HRN), a non-profit health education organization,
Stress Awareness Month is a national, cooperative effort to inform people
about the dangers of stress, successful coping strategies, and harmful
misconceptions about stress that are prevalent in our society.
"Even though we've learned a lot about stress in the past twenty years,"
says Dr. Morton C. Orman, M.D., Founder and Director of HRN, "we've got a
long way to go. New information is now available that could help millions of
Americans eliminate their suffering."
Dr. Orman has invited leading health care organizations across the country
to develop and disseminate helpful educational materials and other
information about stress during the month of April. He is also promoting
public forums, discussion groups, and other informative community events.
The Health Resource
Network is a non-profit health education organization established in
1982. It consists of health professionals, health promotion experts, and
educators committed to developing more effective programs for improving
health and preventing disease. In addition to sponsoring Stress Awareness
Month, the organization also sponsors National Stress Awareness Day, held
every April 16--or the day after income taxes are due! |
