Holistic Stress Management: Increasing Resilience in Current Times (OLLI)

The last few years have presented challenges to our health and well-being in unpredictable ways. Rapid change and uncertainty have become the new norms, amplifying stress in our lives. The links between stress and chronic disease are well documented, so the need for holistic stress self-management becomes most critical during troubled times. This workshop will define stress and stress responses, explain the relationship between stress and chronic disease, help participants identify the effects of stress in their lives, provide techniques for coping with stress, and teach ways for calming body responses to stress through relaxation.
Note: This workshop was conducted in 2023. The information is mostly the same but has been updated for 2026.
