Managing End-of-Semester Stress

As the semester comes to a close and the holiday season begins, Vector LiveSafe is here to help your students, faculty, and staff stay healthy and safe.

This can take a toll on mental and physical health, and can lead to unsafe coping mechanisms.

Use this month’s Vector LiveSafe toolkit to help your community manage end-of-semester stress and prepare for a safe and healthy holiday season.
