| Sesssion 6 Stress, Health & Goal |
Purpose
The goal of session 6 is to emphasize the importance of health as
a value for living a happy life. In addition, the session presents
information about alternatives to drug abuse for coping with stress.
Description
The primary activity is a classroom discussion in which students define
stress, examine sources of stress in their lives, and review strategies
for dealing with stress (e.g., lifestyle alternatives, such as physical
activity and relaxation; seeking social support; problem solving;
and self-esteem building). The students discuss why drug use is not
an effective way to deal with stress. They complete and discuss a
"Quality of Life Questionnaire", which assists them in identifying
their goals in life and the value they place on health.
