College students have many sources of stress: school, jobs, relationships, money (the lack of it), etc. Perhaps there is no more important topic than how one can handle or cope with stress. This module hopes to offer some practical advice on how to understand and manage one's stress.

Some important questions to ask yourself prior to starting this unit are:

• What are the main stresses in my life right now?
• Are these stresses caused by people or things?
• How have you attempted to manage these stresses? By avoiding them? By confronting them? Using substances?
• Have you ever given any thought to developing several, positive methods for stress management that could be effectively and safely used when the need arises?
