Stress Management
This seminar goes beyond the "eat right and exercise" approach to stress management. It reinforces the fact that stress is neither good nor bad. It's simply a response to the demands of the environment. This class will help students understand that it is how they respond to stress, or how well they "cope", that makes it a positive, negative, or neutral force in their lives. More importantly, it will give students four coping resources (Problem Solving, Communications, Closeness, and Flexibility) to help them deal with stress.
