Stress is a normal part of student life, especially around boards, entrance exams, placements and big changes like moving to a hostel. This course gives you simple, practical self-care tools: calm breathing, grounding, short mindfulness practices, better planning, kinder self-talk and everyday habits like sleep, movement and staying connected. This is a general self-care and wellness course, not therapy or medical treatment. If stress or low mood feels too much, lasts a long time, or you ever feel unsafe, please talk to a trusted adult, a counsellor or a mental health professional.
