College students consistently indicate that stress is the #1 impediment to academic performance.
Many UMass Dartmouth departments offer programming and services to help students manage, and reduce, their stress.
We've collected information about these on-campus programs and services, along with some helpful online resources, and posted them here.
We will update this webpage frequently. If you know of a program, service, or website that should be added to this webpage, please let us know!
