Programs and Initiatives for Stress Management

Graduate school can be stressful! At UMB, we are committed to spreading awareness about stress and anxiety, creating supportive programming, and providing resources designed to help students achieve academic success. A little bit of stress is good to motivate us to perform, and to pursue our personal and professional desires. However, the way that we respond to stress can make a big difference to our overall well-being. Learning how to cope with stress is important for mental and physical wellbeing. 

Take a "Paws" Pet Therapy Maddie, Marcel, and Pippin will be there to bring a little joy and hopefully brighten your day. Pet therapy takes place in the HSHSL Library Gallery from 12-1 p.m.

Book Well, is a health and wellness initiative to encourage reading for pleasure and stress reduction. Research shows that regular reading improves brain connectivity, increases vocabulary and comprehension, prevents cognitive decline, and strengthens empathy. Reading also aids in sleep readiness, stress reduction, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, fights depression symptoms, and contributes to a longer life. 

Books can be donated in the wellness suite located on the 5th floor of URecfit and wellness. **Please do not donate text books.

Stress Busters is a nationwide college health program that helps students rediscover relaxation. You've been go-go-going and we want you to take a breather.
