Improving Relationships and Reducing Stress and Anger
MSU Extension addresses the issues of violence and stress through its focus on social and emotional health. This focus on social-emotional wellness encompasses forming and maintaining satisfying and healthful relationships, taking another's perspective, resolving interpersonal conflict, feeling capable and whole, expressing emotions, navigating stress, and having supportive relationships.
To achieve well-being, individuals may need help learning how to become critically aware as they develop healthy relationships with their bodies, thoughts, and feelings as well as with others across their lifespans. By offering teens and adults some alternative ways of relating to everyday life experiences — including thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and events — MSU Extension's mental health and stress reduction programs encourages the use of mindfulness and other self-care skills to help one feel better and enjoy life more.
MSU Extension’s community-based educational sessions provided participants with proven strategies to promote safe and healthy relationships.
