The Need
Research shows that a lack of stress management skills can result in negative physical health outcomes, sleep disturbances, reduced social capabilities, and difficulty in managing daily activities. Furthermore, these issues can adversely affect long-term performance, productivity, career advancement, and even financial earning potential. However the good news is that studies also indicate that stress management skills can be developed starting in early childhood within academic environments. Whether young or old stress management skills can improve the quality of one's life.
