The topic that we want to talk about is stress management and emotional regulation techniques for college-going youngsters.

Going to University is an exciting time of life — but it can also be very stressful. Whether it be the stress of academic deadlines, or managing part-time jobs alongside social lives, some students will feel pressurised at times which not only impacts on their mental health but can also hinder success in their studies. This interactive learning resource will help you to understand stress, identify your very own triggers, and give your tips on how to build resilience.

What you will get out of this resource:

  1. Find your biggest three personal stress triggers.
  2. Choose two mindfulness or time management strategies to use on academic tasks.
  3. Implement Your Own Individualized Stress-Reducer

These are evidence-based goals, designed to help you right away with the issues that are causing you distress (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; American Psychological Association (2023).

Who Is This For?

Post-secondary students 18-25 years old, local and international; Stress, obviously, is not anything unfamiliar to you but probably you do not have a systematic form of managing it. Whether you are a student, working odd jobs or just looking to gain composure in your life, this course is for you.

We use video, infographics, and sound so that all can learn in interactive lessons which help those with certain needs.

Why This Approach Works

We believe in you connecting the dots, taking a constructivist path where new pieces are built on top of those you already know. Instead of sitting back and reading about stress, you will learn ways to reduce it and practice them, reflecting on what works or how the method can be improved for your lifestyle.

At the end of our project-based instruction, you will not only “know” about stress management—you will have a complete, actionable plan designed specifically for your unique lifestyle.
