 | This time of year is when stress is gearing up for students--both those who live at home and college students--as well as parents. (And hang on, because the stress gets more intense in the coming months!) This newsletter brings resources that can help students and parents get a handle on stress while it's starting to creep in but is still easier to manage than it will be during the holiday season and midterm / finals time. Start practicing these techniques now and it'll be much easier to handle what comes! I've also included general stress management resources for those who are neither parents nor students, though both groups can use these as well! Find more on Facebook and Twitter, and enjoy the rest of your week! --Elizabeth Scott | |

Here are some important things that parents can do to take care of themselves and manage the stress.
