How to Manage College Stressors and Access Resources
There seems to be growing awareness in recent years around things related to mental health, stress, and trauma where there is wider acceptance and more information than ever before. There is more understanding, flexibility, and support overall. At the same time, we still live in a culture that in a lot of ways, prioritizes productivity over wellness and for individuals to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps". In some ways it feels like we are operating in extremes where some view stress and challenge as inherently bad and it is avoided at all costs and where others continue to plow through and take on anything, at the cost of their health. Stacey Duellman is here to talk to us today about how students can balance these dichotomies and learn how to take care of themselves while still maintaining high standards and the ability to hold themselves accountable. She also shares concrete information about campus resources and supports.
