Find balance and reduce study stress

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly caught between overworking and procrastination? In this 6-session training led by student psychologists, you’ll explore the roots of your stress and how to manage it more effectively. You’ll work on creating healthier motivation, slowing down, silencing your inner critic, and building a more compassionate mindset—all designed to help you study with more ease and enjoyment.
