Sometimes stress has an identifiable source.
It may involve food, housing, health, money, work, relationships, caregiving, loss, legal pressure, or several problems arriving together.
Understanding your response can help, but some stress is not only happening inside you.
Sometimes the situation requires protection, practical action, outside assistance, or change. **
This page can help you identify what may need attention first and choose where to continue.
You do not have to solve everything before beginning.
Consider whether:

Begin here if alcohol, drugs, gambling, or another behaviour is causing harm, feels difficult to control, or is affecting someone you care about.
If you have enough capacity to continue but cannot identify which problem needs attention first, choose I Don’t Know Where to Begin.
The pages that follow offer general orientation, practical first steps, questions that may help clarify the situation, and pathways toward appropriate support.
They cannot assess your individual circumstances or replace medical care, legal advice, financial advice, crisis intervention, emergency services, or another qualified professional.
Some situations can be helped through understanding and regulation.
Some require practical resources, protection, advocacy, professional assistance, or changes in the conditions themselves.
Often, more than one kind of help is needed.
If you need to begin with how the situation is affecting you emotionally, choose What Are You Feeling Right Now?
If you are young and looking for support, you can start here. We have a page specifically for young people and the situations they may be facing.
