Managing stress as a college student can be difficult at times to deal with alone. To help students with this dilemma, Active Minds Peer Health Educators from Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) have provided peer-led monthly Working Out Your Stress workshops since 2010. Lara Falkenstein, Mental Well-Being Health Educator is the primary coordinator for organizing the workshops and emphasizes how important it is for faculty and staff to inform their students of the free events. Students are not only benefitting from relieving their stress or anxiety, but they can also improve their academic performance by participation.
Upcoming Working Out Your Stress Workshops:
These workshops were designed to support mental health and encourage students to learn about tools and resources to manage their stress. Falkenstein and other on-campus partners, such as the Women’s Resource Center (WRC), Sac State Sustainability, Financial Wellness, and others collaborate to highlight campus resources available to support student mental health and break down mental health stigma together.
