This article is amazing. It is such a valid argument chalked full of excellent supporting resources and it makes SUCH a good point... and it's sassy. So, I'm a big fan.
But YES-- It's such a needed balance to acknowledge the bigger picture of the stress epidemic and avoid victim blaming... while also doing what we can to provide individuals the tools to take care of themselves even a tiny bit better while we anxiously (ha, see, societal stressors) wait (and fight) for the system to get better around us.
NIH could've done way better. Next time, can you run it?!

Maybe we all need to band together next year for a sassy "REAL Stress Awareness Month" campaign to counterbalance this silly one!
