The Physical Components of Stress Management
EHPP addresses the physical components of stress on your body with
exercise, stretching, nutrition, and smoking cessation.
Stress Management Classes
Stress management classes can be brought to your worksite and
tailored to your department/worksite needs. If you have at least 10
people interested in a class, and a room, EHPP will bring the class(es)
to you at your convenience. Class times can be from 10-90 minutes.
- Stress Reduction with Stretching
- Defending Your Wellness – Lifestyle Factors to Help with Stress
Management
Other wellness topics can be found on the Worksite Wellness page and combined to
meet the needs of your team. We work around your schedule (during the
university normal work hours) For more information contact: 272-4460
Our partner program, Counseling Assistance and
Referral Services (CARS) provides Stress Management
programming, which addresses other areas of stress.
