STRESS: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE HEALTHY

Silver Telly Award

One-third of all teens feel some negative stress on a daily basis. But not all stress is bad. A young gymnast describes how a certain
amount of stress helps him perform better. Peter Montminy, a child psychologist and wellness coach, explains how too little stress
makes us bored and listless, whereas too much stress can lead to burnout and exhaustion. The program shows students the importance
of achieving the right stress balance. Real teens talk about the types of situations that cause them to become too stressed. These include
academic pressures, family pressures, financial worries, social pressures, and self-imposed pressures to excel. They also describe their
experience with the harmful effects of stress including headaches, anxiety, depression, and strained relationships with family and
friends. Dr. Montminy and a group of teens talk about how to successfully manage stress with every day activities. A 15-year-old rap
artist describes how he finds relief from stress by performing on stage—an activity that others might find stressful.
