Things you should know Thursday: Signs of distress can be sneaky, and while you may feel them, you may not know what they mean. Being able to identify what your body is trying to tell you can let you know when it's time for self-care, or when it's time to reach out for support.

Find more information on identifying stress and self-care strategies, whether it's in your daily life or following a crisis, here: https://dmh.mo.gov/disaster-services/self-care
