Part of our 2024 Alumni Careers Conference
A degree of stress is an unavoidable, and sometimes helpful, reality of our day-to-day lives. That said, times of transition tend to breed higher stress levels that can take a toll on our emotional, interpersonal and professional functioning when left unmanaged over longer periods of time.
In this webinar, senior doctoral student Sandra Krause, MA 20, GrDip 23, will explore the nature of stress and anxiety and outline different evidence-based approaches to help manage stressful life transitions. Sandra will pull from clinical research on cognitive-behavioural therapy to describe strategies people can use to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, manage worry and set healthy boundaries. She will also discuss how to build healthy routines to keep stress levels manageable over the long run.
The webinar will wrap up with a Q&A session.
