Event information: Topic: What does it mean to be mentally healthy, resilient, and stress-free? Stress is something we all experience throughout our lives. When we do nothing to reduce stress and over a prolonged period of time, this increases our risk for mental health problems. Using Psychology, the scientific study of the mind and behaviour, you will learn about the relationship between stress and youth mental health. In our university-lecture style Masterclass, we will explore various ways to help you tolerate, or even master, stress-inducing situations. By the end, you will get a taste of how different branches of psychology – developmental, social, and biological – can inform each other to explain the relationship between stress and mental health.

This event is suitable for: Year 12.
