Reduce your stress drop-in sessions

These drop-in sessions are designed to help you reduce stress and learn ways to find balance and well-being. Each week, a facilitator will introduce you to stress management practices to help you find relief from stress. These practices will be something you can learn to do yourself to prevent and reduce the negative impact of stress. Wear comfortable clothing, and bring a note pad and pen.
