Today we have many demands on our time and the expectation is to do everything well. For example, balancing work and family time, caring for a parent, and even running kids around. Life can be overwhelming. Life can be hard. Life can be unfair and life can be wonderful! Regardless of the stress in our lives, it can all be overwhelming.

Taking Care of You (TCY) is a research-based program developed by the University of Missouri-Extension that offers practical strategies and experiences to help people deal with the stress in their lives. Managing life’s challenges in healthy ways allows people to take better care of themselves and their overall health. At its most basic level, Taking Care of You increases participants’ awareness of their bodies, how stress affects them, and strategies for healthier responses to stress.
