One of our priorities at CSHAL is to help students reduce their stress levels.  We've found that the stress felt by college students is significant from the data and analysis drawn from our "Improving Student Health Survey." Specifically, we found that more than one-quarter of students (27.5%) felt they were doing either “poor” or “very poor” in managing stress. We've put together a task force of experts to make progress on this front. 

We try to pass along good approaches we come across to try to reduce these troubling numbers, and are impressed with the approach taken by the University of Texas in its "Stress Recess" initiative.  It includes an online quiz, and encourages students to reduce their stress levels by embracing their program, one small step at a time.  Take the quiz!  Explore their resources to reduce stress on your own, and don't forget to take one step at a time.
