This forum is for the weekly assigned discussion posts. Each post is worth 15 points, with the exception of weeks 8 and 11 which are worth 30. You must complete your initial post each week before you are able to view other posts. The following week, your assignment will be to read and respond to other posts.
During this pandemic, all of us have been exposed to numerous stressors. While some of these stressors have been easier to manage, others have been overwhelming and have endured for much of the last year.
With this in mind, discuss the following in your post:
1. How the pandemic has has added stress to your life and/or the lives of those around you?
2. What types of stressors have you or those around you faced? (see the 1st slide of the powerpoint)
3. Which of the 8 components of wellness have been negatively impacted as a result of this stress?
4. Briefly discuss the stress response; what is happening in the body in an attempt to cope with these stressors? Be sure to use proper vocabulary words and terminology.
Be detailed and thorough with your answers. If you do any research, be sure to get your information from reputable sources (remember the CRAAP criteria from week 1). Cite any sources you use.
