Coping With Stress And Developing Self-Care Skills For First-Generation College Students, Marissa Jost May 2023

Coping With Stress And Developing Self-Care Skills For First-Generation College Students, Marissa Jost

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

First-generation college students often face new challenges and stressors that can be difficult for them to cope with. Lack of coping skills for first-generation college students can have adverse effects on mental health such as increased symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. When college students develop coping skills and self-care strategies, they may become more successful in navigating college life and responsibilities. To support first-generation students, I will develop a three-part interactive workshop for students enrolled in college support programs attending California State University, Monterey Bay in Seaside, California.

In order to address this issue, I have created a workshop for freshman college students at California State University, Monterey Bay in Seaside, California.

Many college students today may spend an excessive amount of time on technology.

When college students learn about how to manage their technology use, it is likely they will focus more on the negative impacts to benefit their health and wellbeing. To address the overuse of technology, I created a one-day workshop for Theta Alpha Sigma sorority college students at Cal State Monterey Bay.
