MU Offers Stress-Reduction Course COLUMBIA, MO (KBIA) - The university of Missouri is offering stress-reduction courses for students in September. Health center coordinator Terry Wilson says stress is an integral part of life- especially for college students. She says it's important for students to learn how to manage their stress.

"Stress is just a part of life and it really comes down to how you manage it. Students can only learn and practice effective stress management strategy. So that is key. You cannot avoid stress."

Wilson says the course will teach coping techniques like changing eating habits, getting physical activity, and improving body image. She says not all stress is bad in some small ways, Wilson says stress can give people the push they need to stay focused.
