Stress Awareness Month : Leading with Compassion
At MAK Community Care, we are dedicated to improving the lives of those we support by providing personalised supported living, personal care, and specialised services for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. We understand that mental health and stress are significant factors that affect not only those we serve but also our staff, partners, and the wider community.
As part of our commitment to promoting wellbeing, we are proud to observe Stress Awareness Month this April, joining in the global conversation on mental health. Stress Awareness Month is a time to increase awareness of the causes and effects of stress, and provide practical tools and support to help individuals and organisations manage it effectively.
Why Stress Awareness Matters to Us
Stress is a part of life, but how we manage it can make all the difference. At MAK Community Care, we believe in the power of compassionate care and support, whether it’s through offering a listening ear, providing tailored services, or creating an environment that encourages mental health awareness.
This year, we are inspired by the #LeadWithLove campaign for Stress Awareness Month. By promoting unconditional love, empathy, and kindness, we aim to foster a culture where mental health is openly discussed, stress is recognised and addressed, and everyone feels supported in their journey towards improved wellbeing.
How We Support Wellbeing
At MAK, we offer:
- Personalised Supported Living: Tailored services to help individuals live independently and confidently.
