Psychosocial services for the population of Temiscaming-Kipawa and Ville-Marie

Need help?

Every stressful situation triggers physical and emotional reactions. Each person experiences them with an intensity and rhythm of their own.

 

I experience:

Worry, anger, sadness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, impatience, tensions in my family and social relationships, etc. These emotions and feelings are normal for anyone experiencing a stressful situation.

 

When to ask for help?

When it is difficult to function normally in daily activities and in relationships with others.

 

Even when daily life is disrupted, it is essential to take care of oneself to increase tolerance to stress. It is possible to:

  • Talk to my loved ones and friends about what I'm going through;
  • Share my feelings and difficulties;
  • Eat at regular times;
  • Avoid alcohol or drugs;
  • Take moments of relaxation;
  • Breathe calmly and deeply;
  • Exercise;
  • Engage in an activity I enjoy and that is beneficial to me;
  • Spend time outdoors and in nature.
