Developing Resilience in an Evolving World
Explore holistic strategies for managing stress in physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and environmental realms. Build resilience with proactive techniques that reduce stress sources, nurture relaxation and mindful thought, and emphasize prevention supported by case studies, self-care tips, and interactive tools.
Everyone experiences stress in their lives. While it is a natural response to challenges, stress can have debilitating effects on both physical and mental health. Stress Management offers a fresh look at, and effective strategies for, managing stress and building resilience across six dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and environmental. This foundational text takes a holistic approach to managing stress, detailing the effects of stress on the body and outlining techniques that examine root causes and proactive responses to stressors.

Stress Management offers a range of coping strategies that will help students formulate a well-rounded plan to tackle stress from multiple angles-before it occurs, while it is occurring, and after it occurs. That model is centered on four primary pillars:

• Source management-reducing or eliminating stress at its source
• Relaxation-employing techniques for breathing, meditation, and rest to focus the mind and relax the body
• Thought management-adopting a thought process to better manage the stressor
• Prevention-avoiding stress when possible

The book also offers practical tools to help students learn how to identify their triggers, practice self-care, and leverage support, including knowing when to seek professional help when necessary. To further aid in applying the strategies to their own lives, the text includes these features:

• Case studies with discussion questions that prompt students to consider real-world scenarios and contemplate ways to solve those stressors
• Research Spotlight elements that present current issues and hot topics related to stress
• Online learning tools, delivered through HKPropel, including audio mini lectures and short interviews, self-discovery activities, chapter quizzes that are automatically graded and provide immediate feedback, and vocabulary flash cards and quizzes

Stress Management is a timely and highly practical book that offers students a deeper understanding of stress and its effects on overall wellness. It guides them in putting together a stress management plan that will help them be healthy in all aspects of their lives.
