Being human means feeling distress from time to time. Distress is any pesky, uncomfortable emotion that, just like a classmate whose company we may not enjoy, we must learn to put up with. This may be worry, sadness, or feeling overwhelmed. While it’s helpful to explore the causes of distress, sometimes we also just need a break from it. Rest from Distress offers several tools to help identify distress, take a break from it using distraction, mindfulness or our senses, and sometimes can even help change our mood.  Participants created a Rest from Distress plan and take-anywhere tool kit.
