The details

Stress Better

This program is designed to build student understandings of stress, including how to identify stress in our own bodies and how it can impact our daily lives. The session equips students with tools and strategies to manage stress more effectively and addresses help-seeking.

Guided by our DoNOHarm Framework, and delivered by trained MIEACT staff and lived experience educators, this is an interactive session that utilises evidence-informed content on stress and stress management to educate students on how to recognise and manage their own stress through effective self-care practices.
