Stress+Management


 * The Stress Management Unit is designed to help students identify their main personal stressors as well as methods to cope with their stress. Throughout the unit students will develop knowledge concerning their own personal stress signals in relation to all the aspects of health. Students will correlate mismanaged distress with disease and illness.**

STRESS MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify various sources of stress, including potential post-secondary stressors (work, family, college, adult responsibilities) 2. Correlate mismanaged distress with illness, disease, and overall health 3. Identify personal stressors. 4. Differentiate between negative and positive methods for coping with stress 5. Demonstrate principles of relaxation/meditation 6. Correlate sleep with stress management and positive health. Also, identify sleep deprivation as a significant health risk for students 7. Students will develop stress management tools to take with them upon graduation

__STRESS MANAGEMENT UNIT NOTES:__ __STRESS PROFILES & INVENTORIES__ In the link below is the Stress Profile Sheet in which each student fills out throughout the semester to see where they currently stand in terms of the different types of stress that they have in their lives. Having a high score in a specific type of stress doesn't make you a bad person, rather it shows that you currently deal with a lot of stress in that category. The only Stress Profile that we skip on the list is Nutrition (#5) simply because this will be discussed later in the semester. At the end of the file, is a handout for the Credit Reality Check Worksheet that is also done in class during this semester. __ASSIGNMENTS & HANDOUTS:__ __MEDIA UNIT:__
