Did you know that some stress is healthy? Things like exercise, being stuck in traffic, roller coasters, and watching horror films can boost your brain levels and heighten your senses. But chronic stress, or prolonged stress can cause things like inflammation and lowering your immune system.

Luckily, Dr. Liesl McConchie is helping our Middle School Brain Academy students learn how to regulate their stress.
