Furry Friends: How Pets Help Us Cope with Stress during Mental Health Awareness Month

During Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we are inviting readers to share their strategies for coping with stress. In light of the recent poll conducted by the American Psychiatric Association, which revealed that 86% of Americans believe that their pets play a significant role in their mental well-being, we encourage you to include your furry companions in your reflection on how you maintain a positive attitude.

We want to hear from you about how pets enhance your mental well-being. Whether it’s through reducing stress and anxiety or providing unconditional love and support, we want to know how your pets help you cope with life’s challenges. Send in a photo of you and your pet along with a 250-word reflection on the ways they have positively impacted your mental health to yourviews@oklahoman.com. Please provide your first and last name, city of residence, the name of your pet, and contact information for verification purposes. Selected photos and comments will be featured in an upcoming edition of Viewpoints throughout the month of May.
