Stressbusters is a national prevention and outreach program that creates frequent and positive connections between prevention services, students and staff. At its core, Stressbusters trains student rapid relaxation teams to become wellness ambassadors who calm and connect thousands of community members with free backrubs and resources via events during orientation, midterms and all year long. Well beyond backrubs, Stressbusters supports specific recommendations for campus mental health safeguards by reducing student isolation, encouraging help-seeking and teaching stress management skills. For the same cost as bringing a few one-time speakers to campus, swiftly expand your prevention activities and make Stressbusters a permanent catalyst for campus stress relief.

"The interest and enthusiasm for Stressbusters at Johns Hopkins has been remarkable and it has really helped to enhance the visibility of our office. Jordan Friedman's guidance has been invaluable since he is so familiar with the program and provides all of the necessary start-up tools. Stressbusters has been a win-win all the way around, and I highly recommend that other schools implement the program."

"At NYU, we strive to be a 'health center without walls," and Stressbusters is definitely helping us to do just that. The program is enabling us to promote our services in a fresh and exciting way. Because Stressbusters is designed to travel, we're able to reach students wherever they are, connecting them to the services we provide at the Student Health Center. We have found Stressbusters to be a terrific asset to the community and to be one of our most popular programs."
