Description:

TEENAGE STRESS! A 2013 survey by the American Psychological Association found that stress is extremely common among teenagers. Teenagers who responded to the survey report they’re experiencing what they think are unhealthy levels of stress, especially during the school year. In fact, school is the top source of stress for teens. Getting into a good college or deciding what to do after high school is the second-biggest source of tension. The mind and body are closely connected, and stress can affect the body from head to toe. And in fact, the survey found teens experience both emotional and physical symptoms of stress. Common symptoms include feeling nervous or anxious, feeling tired, procrastinating or neglecting responsibilities, feeling overwhelmed, having negative thoughts and experiencing changes in sleeping habits. Problems with concentrating and changes in eating habits (eating too much or too little) are also linked to stress.

The Employee Assistance Program will present a one-hour seminar on helping teenagers cope with stress. The seminar will be held in the Buckeye Room Feb. 20 at 1 pm.

This one-hour seminar should be listed on your timesheet under Fitness and Wellness Programs, EAGLE CODE LN-PF. Please check with your supervisor and email drew.henderson@dla.mil to register.
