Mindful Practices
Foundations of Stress Management Course (HED 112)
This course is an examination of stress, mindfulness, and multiple means of stress management. We explore the science of stress and how it impacts our health, the history and benefits of mindfulness, and then engage with different stress management practices each week thereafter. The ultimate of this course is for students to use healthy coping strategies on a consistent basis, as well as have tools to address stressors that will arise from being a college student. This course is a 1 credit, seminar course that is offered every fall and spring term and is open to any student.
