Stress for Success: College Stress Management
Our College version of our Stress for success program is designed to help with College Stress Management. Stress is something that we commonly talk about in our society. However, we rarely take time to define Stress. What is Stress? What causes Stress? How do we experience stress? Most importantly, what can we do to manage our stress? While stress is often discussed in terms of negative impact, it can be beneficial. With College Stress Management, we learn that a healthy level of stress is necessary for optimal performance. However, it is when stress interferes with our functioning, rather than optimizing our functioning, that we begin to experience harmful effects.
Many students who are leaders in campus activities are also leaders in the classroom, striving to maintain high grades. Many student leaders feel the dual pressure of academic expectations and multiple extracurricular responsibilities. It is not uncommon for a student leader to feel like there is too much to do and not enough time to do it. The success of a campus event, the publication of a student newspaper or yearbook, the opportunity to advocate for the student body, may depend on an individual student. It is not surprising that student leaders feel extraordinary amounts of stress, especially when extracurricular activities coincide with examination periods.Our Stress for Success programs are not your ordinary cut and dry stress management sessions.
