Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. The pandemic has had a hugely detrimental effect on the nation’s mental health and sense of community, and physicians are not exempted from it.

Each year, the World Health Organization highlights a special theme in the wellness and medical world. Ranging from mental health to insurance and everything in between, World Health Day sets the tone for what’s to come on the world stage.

National Public Health Week is a public education initiative every first week of April. Launched in America three decades ago, it is a week that recognizes the importance of leading healthier lives, irrespective of where we live, work, or come from and tackling issues that can improve the health and happiness of our nation.
