Realistic tips to reduce your stress in Academia
Claudia Pavisic

In this half-an-hour workshop, we look at the effects that stress has on academic performance, identify ways that serotonin and dopamine levels can be increased naturally to counter the body’s stress response, and practice some of our realistic tips to reduce your stress and burnout. Not only can stress impact your state of mind, energy levels and productivity at work, but it can also exacerbate a broad range of health conditions. Excessive stress, whether acute or chronic, harms memory, performance, motivation, and the ability to recall information. These accessible strategies can be implemented in various settings, and are relevant, approachable, and easy to include in your daily routine.

She is currently in her third year of a Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in Health Promotion and Addiction Studies. Claudia currently works in the healthcare industry which is a main driver in her passionate resolve to educate and inform people about mental health.

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child acknowledges the First Australian owners of the lands on where we gather and pay our respects to the Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits of this country.

The Centre recognises that the examples we set in diversity and inclusion will support young children to respect and celebrate differences in all people. We embed diversity, inclusivity and equality into all aspects of the Centre’s activities and welcome all people regardless of race, ethnicity, social background, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation and national origin.
