How Stress Shapes Our World
|
While stress might seem like a modern issue, it has always been part of life. What’s changed is our heightened awareness and willingness to discuss it. Although we may share similar stressful experiences, how each of us perceives and handles stress can vary greatly. For international students, stress can uniquely impact their experience abroad. |
