Primary Preventors of Stress Related Illness in College Students

Stress occurs when there are demands on an individual that exceeds his or her coping capabilities.  Stress is a very common occurrence and not a stranger to many.  The purpose of this paper is to a) acknowledge stress, b) find the sources of stress, and c) figure out ways of preventing the stress that cause the issues.  By narrowing the source of stress within college students it would give the college students tools to use when they become stressed.  By providing ways for college students to deal with their stress, such as meditation classes, helpful seminars, and other ways or outlets, it will cause a chain reaction of peace of mind, better habits, healthier lifestyles, and wellness.
