It&#8217;s a word that no-one wanted to invent. But the pressures of insecurity at work or \u00a0unemployment, underlying worries about global warming, the unsettling threat and promise of Artificial Intelligence, the unreliable lure of social media, not to mention ever more polarised politics, \u00a0they all work on us as individuals. The effect \u00a0can be panic, loneliness, unease and fear. Fear even of being seen to be suffering from these anxieties, fear of being found out to be struggling, vulnerable, at sea. The irony is, often the greater our concerns, the less we speak about them, not knowing perhaps that so many other people are in the same situation and that help is at hand.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/grange-over-sands\/2026\/03\/02\/how-are-you-mental-health-awareness-day\/screenshot-2026-04-03-at-22-20-11\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7342\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7342 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/grange-over-sands\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-04-03-at-22.20.11-300x183.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/grange-over-sands\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-04-03-at-22.20.11-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/grange-over-sands\/files\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-04-03-at-22.20.11.png 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/a>Which is why for Mental Health Awareness and Well-Being Day this year, Grange-over-Sands \u00a0Soroptimists are asking <em>How are you?<\/em> at an all day event on Saturday 16 May at the Victoria Hall, Grange-over-Sands.
