The impact of Stress

in Families,

Children

and Youth.

They feel good and secure about themselves and have healthy relationships. However, many things that happen in life disrupt emotional health and lead to strong feelings of sadness, stress or anxiety. These things include being laid off from your job, having a child leave or return home, dealing with a chronic illness or the death of a loved one, getting divorced or married, suffering an illness or an injury, getting a job promotion, experiencing money problems, moving to a new home or town, or having a baby. “Good” changes can be just as stressful as “bad” changes.
