Scott Asner, a Kansas City-based real estate investor and Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, is encouraging Kansas City residents to prioritize mental health and learn effective stress management techniques during Stress Awareness Month.
LEAWOOD, Kan., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of Stress Awareness Month, Scott Asner, a respected Kansas City investor and Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, is encouraging individuals and businesses alike to take proactive steps toward managing stress and improving mental well-being.
"Stress is something we all face, but unmanaged stress can have lasting effects on our health, our relationships, and our ability to lead effectively," said Asner. "Raising awareness about mental health and promoting simple, effective stress management practices is something I believe we can all benefit from."
Since 1992, April has been designated as Stress Awareness Month to increase public understanding of the impact stress has on physical and mental health. Chronic stress has been linked to a wide range of health issues, including heart disease, high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.
Asner also emphasized the importance of supporting mental wellness in the workplace. "As an employer, I want my team to know it's okay to take a step back, reset, and recharge. Prioritizing well-being isn't just good for individuals—it leads to stronger teams and better outcomes for everyone."
Stress Awareness Month offers an opportunity for individuals, families, and organizations to explore stress-reduction methods such as mindfulness, exercise, adequate rest, healthy eating, and professional counseling.
"Whether it's going for a walk, talking to someone you trust, or just taking five minutes to breathe deeply—these small actions can create a big shift," added Asner.
