Description

In this webinar, strategies for maintaining optimal mental health and preventing mental health problems during times of typical stress, such as graduate school, and times of extraordinary stress, such as a global pandemic, will be discussed. Coping strategies including progressive muscle relaxation, paced breathing, and accurate thinking will be described.
