“Dealing With Life Stresses,” April 14, 4-5:30 p.m., which will help participants understand what stress is and how it affects us, some common circumstances and events that cause stress, and specific ways of coping with and managing stress.

The workshops are free and open to the public. They will take place in the Goins Cafeteria Annex.
