On Wednesday, May 15th, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the UMPO DEIA team sponsored a workshop on reducing stress and anxiety.
This workshop was facilitated by two premier UMass Amherst staff: Dr. Karen Whelan-Berry, Director of Faculty Development in the College of Natural Sciences, and Paul Papierski, Director of Workplace Learning and Development.
In this workshop, created by Dr. Whelan-Berry, Mr. Papierski and the UMass Amherst Employee Counseling and Consultation Office, participants learned about the stress and anxiety cycle, sources and reactions to general and workplace stress and anxiety, and learned and explored basic tools for reducing stress and anxiety.
