What is Stress Awareness Month?
Stress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern-day stress epidemic. It is the time when we have an opportunity for an open conversation and highlight the impact of stress.
How do dogs link with Stress Awareness Month?
Fact: Research has shown that simply petting a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol, while the social interaction between people and their dogs increases levels of the feel-good hormone oxytocin (the same hormone that bonds mothers to babies) In reality, an astonishing 84 percent of post-traumatic stress disorder patients paired with a service dog reported a significant reduction in symptoms, and 40 percent were able to decrease their medications, reported in a recent survey.
There are many health benefits to dogs such as:
- Lower blood pressure
- Increase physical activity
- Boost heart health
- Ease loneliness and depression
