Today marks the beginning of Stress Awareness week (November 7 to November 11). Stress recognition and intervention are vital for mental and physical well-being.
This week, the university is providing workshops and resources to help with this. Workshops will develop your skills to be able to handle stress and hopefully eventually prevent stress.

The university provides workshops and resources online to help with stress recognition, intervention, and management. More details can be found here.
