This psychoeducational group session teaches participants about stress by having them complete individual and group stress index scales. The scales ask participants to assign points to different stressful events based on how stressful they would be. This allows participants to differentiate between a stressful event and their reaction to it. The goals are for participants to discuss different reactions to events, compare responses to others, and identify factors influencing individual stress responses. Understanding that stress is subjective helps participants learn they can manage stress by controlling their reactions rather than external events.
