Even though we now experience change on a constant basis, it still has the potential for increasing our stress level.

Yet how we manage uncertainty and change can make a huge difference on our overall outlook and well-being. This webinar will help increase your understanding of why change can be stressful, learn strategies for minimizing and managing stress and guide you through a quick relaxation technique to use during uncertain times.
Managing Anxiety and Building Resilience: Wednesday, June 3, 11:00 a.m.–11:45 a.m.
American Psychological Association defines anxiety as, “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes such as increased blood pressure or heart rate”. Anxiety can be normal in stressful situations like driving in heavy traffic or public speaking, but it can also be an indicator of something more when those feelings become excessive and interfere with everyday life. This webinar will help you better understand anxiety symptoms, learn strategies, like building resilience, to help manage our anxiety.
