HHS 225: Stress Management

Course Description

This course is a systematic examination of the stress process and its management. We will explore what stress is, its major components and psychophysiologic processes, as well as the connection between stress and health outcomes. Students will employ self-reflective and active learning techniques to examine in detail the range of options that may be employed to minimize the impact of stressors and their health consequences. These options include perception interventions and spirituality, multiple relaxation techniques, and physiological interventions such as exercise. (F, S, W).
