Mental Health: Understanding Stress and High Blood Pressure
Monday, April 14, 2025
5:00pm to 7:00pm
14
Exploring the mental health effects of hypertension in the African descent community.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a silent but serious condition where blood pushes too hard against artery walls over time. Stress—both mental and physical—can trigger hypertension, straining the heart and blood vessels. Without proper management, it may lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious complications.
Join this informative workshop to learn:
- How stress contributes to high blood pressure
- Key causes, risk factors, and warning signs
- The long-term impact on health
- Practical strategies for prevention and management
Take control of your blood pressure and improve your well-being! RSVP today.
