Summary
How a person reacts to stressful things in everyday life is known as ‘stress reactivity’. This includes how a person reacts in their body, and also in their thoughts and feelings. Young people who have experienced difficult life events often have problems with how they react to everyday stress events as they grow up, which makes them more vulnerable to developing mental health difficulties in adolescence and early adulthood. This project will focus on ways to help young people with their stress reactivity as a preventative strategy to protect against the future development of mental health difficulties.
