Stress Awareness Month – Help People Find Support on the Essex Map

Posted on: April 2, 2026

April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about stress and help people find the support they need.

One practical way we can all support our communities is by making it easier for people to find local services quickly and easily.

The Essex Map (www.essexmap.co.uk) is a free online directory that helps residents, professionals and community organisations discover services across Essex that support health, wellbeing, community connection and more.

We would love your help to make the map even more useful during Stress Awareness Month.

How you can get involved:

Promote the Essex Map to people you support so they can find local help and resources when they need it.
Add your organisation or service to the map so more people can find the support you provide.
Share the map with colleagues and partners to help grow the network of support across Essex.

The more organisations that are listed, the easier it becomes for people experiencing stress or other challenges to find the right support at the right time.

You can explore the map or add a service here:
www.essexmap.co.uk

If you have any questions or would like support listing your organisation, please feel free to contact us at communications@essexalliance.org.uk.

Together we can help ensure that people across Essex know where to turn for support.
