- Coping with Stress
- Tuesday, December 5, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
- Stress, in some shape or form, is something we all, collectively, experience. Daily stressors (transportation delays, exams, etc.) and/or global stressors (international issues, environmental concerns, racial tensions, political unrest, etc.), can sometimes affect us in more ways than we realize.
