The challenges and obstacles one faces on a daily basis, balancing the responsibilities of work and family — especially in the wake of a pandemic — can be stressful. Undue amounts of stress can reduce one’s ability to think clearly, function effectively, and enjoy life. In order to attempt to better manage this stress, IMPRS-IS would like to invite you to participate in a free online stress management training series.
IMPRS-IS is once again offering stress management training, open to all of community members, in Fall 2021. We will offer two identical rounds of training will be offered — once in German and once in English.
