Stress & Resilience Workshop

ABSTRACT

This workshop focuses on the everyday experience of stress. It offers a new view of stress: stress can be viewed as either helpful or harmful, and our perception affects our experience of stress. Further, the workshop introduces students to the ABC Model, a framework they can use to help them make the most of stressful situations. This workshop is not meant to be prescriptive. We have indicated suggested timing for each section, but please adapt the workshop as you see fit to best suit the needs and interests of your students.
