Module 3 of 10 · Mental Wellness Academy
Stress & Anxiety
Understanding stress signals, coping choices, and when support can help.
Section goal
Identify what is within your influence and choose one safe next step.
Memory routine: Pause, Breathe, Sort, Support
Stress is a normal response, not a personal flaw. This module looks at how stress shows up in thoughts, body and behaviour, how to sort what you can influence from what you cannot, and how to recognise the point at which asking for qualified support is the smartest next step.
Use what helps, adapt what does not, and keep your work private when you choose.
You do not have to handle everything alone.
This course provides general educational information. It does not diagnose conditions, provide treatment, or replace individualized support from a parent, caregiver, school professional, pediatrician, counselor, or other qualified professional.
If a concern feels too heavy, lasts, interferes with daily life, or affects safety, tell a trusted adult and ask for qualified support.
In the United States: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) · text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line) · if someone is in immediate danger, call 911. Elsewhere, contact your local emergency or crisis services.
Stress that keeps you from sleeping, eating, going to school, or being with people you care about is worth telling an adult about. Asking early is not an overreaction.
