30-minute class can improve teenagers’ stress response, study finds

Approach focusing on positives of stress is linked to academic improvement and lower anxiety

Stress in teenagers can be reduced by a single 30-minute online training session aimed at encouraging a growth mindset and seeing the body's reaction to stress as a positive, according to scientists.

A study involving more than 4,000 secondary school pupils and university undergraduates suggests the intervention could be a low-cost, effective treatment for adolescent stress.
