Feeling stressed, tensed or "always on" - even in summer?

Summer Stress Reset to slow down, recharge and learn practical tools to care for yourself

What you will get

Across the 4 sessions, you will:

• get psychoeducation about stress;
• explore how self-criticism and high expectations fuel stress;
• practice responding to yourself with more understanding and compassion;
• try out short body-based exercises to calm your nervous system;
• share experiences with other students in a supportive setting (only if you want to – sharing is always your choice).

Practical information

• Format: 4 weekly group sessions during the summer period.
• Attendance: We recommend joining all 4 sessions to get the most out of it, but it’s okay if you need to miss one session.
• Language: English.
• For whom: Students who experience stress, tension or pressure and want to handle it in a healthier way.

Starting next academic year, this group will also be available in English as Managing Stress Events, and in Dutch as Omgaan met Stress Events.

Bring yourself as you are – stressed, tired, curious, or all of the above – and use part of your summer to take care of your mind and body.
