Coping With Stress During Stressful Times
With classes, work, personal lives, COVID-19, protests, and politics impacting us each day, how do we manage that stress so we can continue to be happy and productive? This workshop goes over ways in which anxiety helps and harms, how anxiety functions, and offers tools and resources to help face the stresses we experience each day. Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but that does not mean it has to defeat us.
