Stress is not all bad because it can be the motivating force leading us towards personal growth. However when we experience high levels of stress, or have been experiencing stress for a prolonged period of time, our physical and mental health begins to suffer. And stress does not just affect adults, but children and teens as well. There is growing concern over the number of youth experiencing a physical or mental health crisis as the result of stress. This course empowers youth, students, parents, corporate professionals, health care professionals, law enforcement personnel, teachers, and everyone else to reduce their stress so they can face life's challenges in a healthy and constructive way.
