Abstract
College students experience stressors that can impact grades, relationships, and health. When students participate in structured education in self-care techniques, they can build resilience and effective coping strategies. An undergraduate online elective in holistic self-care was developed to promote student resilience and stress management. Initial post-course evaluations sparked an investigation of the student experience with a mixed methods study. The findings documented the benefits of the course, the inverse relationship between stress and resilience, and the perceived value of holistic self-care techniques. These skills helped students better manage stress and build resilience during the college experience, and potentially beyond.
