StressLess for Student Success

Stress and anxiety are typical parts of life. In fact, moderate levels of stress can be beneficial to those who have learned to manage it.  However, a person’s physical and mental health can be at risk when stress levels persist over a period of time. According the American Psychological Association, 80% of college students say they sometimes or often feel stressed.  If stress and anxiety are not managed properly, they can prevent students from achieving their academic and career goals, as well as social development. Some of the main stressors for college students include living away from home, test anxiety, academic demands, finances and post-graduate plans.
