- Coping with Stress
- Tuesday, May 6, 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. This workshop, therefore, aims to equip you with a more holistic view of stress to, importantly, strengthen how you understand, relate to, and proactively manage stressors in your life.
