Stress Management in Middle School - S2 E3

Stress: The body's response to change. Distress is a negative pressure or threat; the "bad" stress. Eustress is beneficial challenge; the "good" stress.

We continue our student-led podcasts this school year with our first offering from our second set of hosts, Lauren and Rhys. Like last week with our other two leaders for this season, Lauren and Rhys find their footing during live recordings and work to figure out the interview and discussion process with guests Sara and Avery. All four talk about starting 8th grade and the place that stress and stress management have in teenage life.

RESOURCES
Students: Teens Talk About Stress. A resource from Teens Health.
Parents: Stress Management & Teens. Tips from the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
Teachers: Health.Moves.Minds. An SEL program from SHAPE America.

Continue to tune in each week as our hosts flip-flop leadership from Lauren and Rhys, to Salil and Shauna, and back again. Subscribe and check back for new topics and new guests, and listen as our 8th graders grow in their communication abilities in the process.
