Stress doesn’t always knock — sometimes it barges in. One minute you’re fine, the next you’re tense or overwhelmed. That’s your body’s stress system kicking into gear — even if there’s no real emergency.

You might not be able to stop stress from showing up, but you can learn how to respond in a way that helps you feel better, faster.

The fit kit Problem Solvers are here for the everyday stuff that adds up: school pressure, friend trouble, too much to do, not enough sleep. You’ll find quick, easy ways to break overwhelming challenges into smaller, more manageable pieces while incorporating important elements of self-care you can use to keep stress at bay.
