Health Awareness in April
Throughout the month of April, we are highlighting:
- Autism Acceptance Month
- National Infant Immunization Week
- Stress Awareness Month
These awareness months encourage us to take the time to learn more about various health causes.

Autism Acceptance Month
Today, society has a greater awareness of autism than ever before. When we focus on acceptance instead of awareness, we celebrate, educate, and move people to action. We will be doing this by sharing resources, learning, and working to create a more inclusive community.

Self Care Techniques to Manage Stress
1. Carve out weekly time for your favorite hobbies
Hobbies can make you forget about your stressors. Schedule a time to do them once a week. Reach out to friends or join a league so that you’re more accountable.
2. Take care of your basic needs
Make sure to eat a nutritious and balanced diet, move your body, drink plenty of water, get enough rest, shower and put on fresh clothes, and practice dental hygiene.
3. Spend time with friends and family
Talking on the phone or sending text messages with your loved ones is nice,but try spending time in person with your friends and family to decrease stress.
4. Face down your ongoing stressor
Find something that has been on your “to-do” list for months like a messy house or scheduling long overdue doctor’s appointments. Create a plan to cross it off your list.
5. Soak up nature
Spending just 20 minutes in nature can reduce stress and promote healing.Take a hike, sit on a park bench, or simply sip your coffee on your balcony.
6. Ask for help
This strategy involves taking overwhelming or depleting activities off your plate. A few practical strategies for lightening your load include:
- Delegate to others — at work and at home
- Prioritize tasks
- Decide what doesn’t need to be done and take them off your list
- Tap into family, friends, or colleagues for help
- Hire someone, like a dog walker or house cleaner, to free up self-care time
If you still find yourself unable to manage this stressful time in your life, consider reaching out to our CHDC Behavioral Health team for support and tools.
