The Extension Institute for Health & Well-Being works to catalyze positive change in Wisconsin communities to promote health and well-being. Our research-based programs are focused on food and nutrition security, chronic disease prevention, mental health promotion, prevention of substance use prevention, and access to health care. Rooted in both urban and rural communities, we’re working together to help solve the state’s most pressing well-being needs and to ensure that all Wisconsinites have the opportunity to live stronger, healthier lives.

No matter who we are, how long we’ve lived, or our specific life experiences – we all live and deal with stress. The World Health Organization defines stress as any type of experience that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. It is your body’s response to anything that requires attention or action. Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The way you respond to it, however, makes a big difference to your overall well-being.
