This mini-seminar will cover the fundamental elements of stress including definitions and symptoms. Time will be spent discussing the mental health crisis among adolescents and adults. Practical coping strategies will be illuminated. Emphasis on 'navigating' rather than solving will be highlighted, and fundamental aspects of using 'artful judgment' will also be discussed.

Regarding the topic, Rodriguez-Kitkowski said, "Almost everyone has suffered from stress in their lives at one point or another. Equally, almost everyone can share the list of coping strategies they use to navigate that stress. Today, more than ever, we need to understand how stress impacts us and equally understand renewed coping strategies. What once worked may need to change."
