Under Pressure

In 'Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls', Dr. Lisa Damour challenges readers to reframe their understanding of stress and anxiety.

She argues that stress can be a healthy stimulus for personal growth and that anxiety can play a key role in keeping girls safe.

The book explores various facets of girls’ lives, including home life, school pressures, social interactions, and online activities, to identify sources of toxic stress and anxiety.

Damour provides actionable steps for parents, educators, and mentors to help girls manage these pressures and maintain emotional well-being.
