School has always been a source of stress, whether you’re taking classes, teaching, or parenting a student. Negative reactions to stress create a significant barrier to learning and growth. The Chill Project features dedicated professionals, a calming space, and regular instruction to help every member of a school’s community better handle pressure and anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
