According to Dr. Mininni’s views and her “tool kit”, she says that you have to find a go to strategy to use to cope and overcome that stress. Stress management also relates to the way people handle their stress. From the video, Dr. Mininni says that from one of her research studies on health and stress was that being isolated without connection to anyone was the same as smoking 15 cigarettes. We need other people to thrive in life, we need connection with others. People with social support lived longer than the people who did not.
