Care.com April Webinar Series
The Great Juggling Act: Being a Parent AND a Person
Date: Tuesday, April 12th
Time: 12:00-1:00 pm
EST
Register Today
About this Event
Finding a balance between raising and being a human isn't easy. After the last
two years, parents feel pulled in more directions than ever; guilty that when
they spend time on one thing, they're neglecting another. Our guest, Julie
Morgenstern, author of Time to Parent, will share a unique framework for
managing the conflicting priorities of the parenting years. Parents with kids
at every age and stage in their lives will get practical tips and liberating
insights, including how much time and attention kids need, clever ways to keep
your marriage and social life alive, streamlining and sharing household logistics,
and so much more. You'll learn how to gain more time, lose the guilt, and be
more deeply present in all you do.
These Care webinars are free to
attend, and a recording will be shared afterwards.

What is stress?
By Togetherall
What is stress?
Stress seems to be part and parcel of modern life. There are financial worries, social pressures, living up to the expectations of others (and ourselves), and relationship difficulties - the list is endless. They all make demands on our mental and physical resources – and sometimes that’s fine. It’s when these demands feel more than we can cope with that we become stressed.
A degree of stress is present amongst all the anxiety disorders. Stress is extremely prevalent, over 70% of people in various studies across multiple continents, state that they have regularly experienced mental distress and overwhelm that may lead to poor coping (APA 2017, YouGov UK 2018, NZ Health Monitor 2018).
Fight or flight? Physical symptoms of stress
The physical and mental changes we experience when we’re under stress evolved as a way of dealing with life-threatening situations: like coming face to face with a wild animal. Within seconds, our ancestors had to decide whether to stay and fight it –or run away –and their bodies produced the hormones to prepare it for either. Our bodies still go into ‘fight or flight’ mode when we’re faced with a threat or challenge.
Within seconds of sensing a threatening situation, your body releases adrenaline and noradrenaline to increase your blood pressure and heart rate to get oxygen and fuel-filled blood to the brain, muscles, heart, and lungs. Noradrenalin sharpens your senses so you’re more alert, causing tensing of the facial muscles, clenching of the teeth and your hair to stand more on end.
Cortisol converts fat stores into energy to power the muscles. But too much cortisol can weaken your immune system –which is why people suffering from chronic stress get a lot of colds and infections.
What you can do in times of extreme stress
The first thing is to recognize the warning signs of stress and the second is to accept that you need to do something about it. However much your life feels like it’s spiralling out of control, there is plenty you can do to reduce your stress levels. You can:
- Think about what’s causing the stress –and how you respond to it.
- Take steps to prevent or cut down on the stress.
- Understand how your mindset affects how you deal with potentially stressful situations or people.
- Develop healthy ways to deal with stress.

Reach Out Retrievers
We are working on creating a series of student videos, featuring undergraduate and graduate students, to support Retriever Integrated Health's (RIH) Reach Out Retrievers initiative. Reach Out Retrievers is the first step (hopefully with many more steps to follow) in making a campus commitment to supporting and improving the mental health of our entire campus community. These pieces will be shared during the month of April on RIH and other campus partner social media pages. Additionally, these videos will be paired with information about online mental health tools that students can take advantage of right now.
There are two ways to participate:
- Send a video
- Send an audio recording
In the submission, we would like for students to use the following questions to guide their thoughts:
- How has your mental health changed since you started at UMBC?
- If needed, what did you do to handle those changes?
- What do you wish you would have done differently to support your mental health? OR What are you happy that you have done to support your mental health?
- What would you say to others with your same mental health experience?
Here are some things to consider:
- Videos and audio recordings should be between 30 and 60 seconds
- Students are welcome to use their phone to record (preferably with the front-facing camera)
- Students are welcome to share their name, graduation year, and major in the recording.
- If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the recording
- The videos don't need to be very polished
If you know a student that would be willing to participate, please have them email Samantha Smith (
samsmith@umbc.edu) to confirm participation. You are welcome to forward this message along to others.
Please upload your submission
here.
