EmpkinS “Stress Management” Workshop
On October 1, 2026, Lydia Rupp hosted a Stress Management workshop for EmpkinS. The session began by clarifying what stress is and which factors commonly contribute to it, laying a foundation for recognizing how stress shows up in day-to-day work and life. Participants then identified and reflected on their individual stressors, considering patterns and potential points for change.
Building on this, the group explored practical coping techniques and self-regulation strategies to handle stress more effectively—focusing on simple tools that can be integrated into daily routines. To close, Lydia guided a progressive muscle relaxation exercise, giving attendees a hands-on method to reduce tension and promote calm.
A warm thank you to Lydia for her thorough preparation, and to all participants for their active engagement and openness!
