Stress Relief

During the school year, students can become overloaded with schoolwork and although work and grades are important,
    there needs to be more of an emphasis on a student's mental health.
    Remember you are not a machine, to perform well in school you must be in a stable state of mind.
    Luckily, our team has created exercises and tips to help you relieve stress and anxiety that comes with being a student.
