Maggie Wilhelm, LPCC- WISe Mental Health Coach in Residence and Meagan Connley - WISe Member present Stress Support: Why You Can't Outrun Stress & How to Manage It.
Being under constant stress seems normalized in our society, but that doesn't mean our bodies are equipped to handle it. In this session, we will share information about what stress is, how it impacts your body short term and long term, and practical tips for stress management. Your body does not make mistakes. It responds the only way it knows how. It responds to the environment it's in. It is trying to tell you something.
