Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. It usually happens when we are in a situation that we don't feel we can manage or control.

When we experience stress, it can be as:

• An individual, for example when you have lots of responsibilities that you are struggling to manage
• Part of a group, for example if your family is going through a difficult time, such as bereavement or financial problems
• Part of your community, for example if you belong to a religious group that is experiencing discrimination
• A member of society, for example during natural disasters or events like the coronavirus pandemic

If you feel stress as part of a bigger group, you may all experience it differently. This can happen even if the cause of your stress is the same.
