According to the World Health Organization, over 80% of chronic disease and illness is related to stress and unhealthy stress management practices.\u202fCollege students face a myriad of stressors and often lack the resources, internally and externally, to cope with stress effectively and in a healthy manner.\u202fThe development and utilization of positive stress management skills and strategies are critical for creating, maintaining, and sustaining health and wellbeing throughout life.\u00a0This is especially important to students at varying levels of academic and social preparation, many of whom are first and second generation Americans and\/or\u00a0who are the first members of their families to attend college.\u00a0WCSU provides many resources and services to guide and support students in the transition and adjustment to college life.\u00a0 This course will provide the information and experiences necessary to help them navigate and succeed in their college career and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
