It is frightening to learn the extent to which toxic stress is impacting our lives…

  • Poor health

  • Reduced empathy

  • Spikes in “deaths of despair” (opioid overdoses, suicide, cirrhosis of the liver)

  • Life expectancy here in America has dropped for three years in a row (which hasn’t happened in a hundred years)

  • In the U.S. more people die of suicide by a handgun than of homicide by a handgun

  • The U.S. is 4.7% of the world’s population but we take 90% of the world’s OxyContin


If you are faced with significant or chronic stress, I implore you to find a friend, a medical professional or an organization like ours to help you deal with this.
