MP3 selections aim to aid stress relief

As a resource for students, faculty and staff, Jennifer Yalof, Psy.D., UNMC’s wellness coordinator, has compiled a set of easily accessible MP3s on techniques to reduce stress and aid relaxation.

“I wanted to offer people easily accessible and simple, yet effective, resources to help encourage stress-reduction,” Dr. Yalof said. “I’m hoping these resources can be used in conjunction with already established resources at UNMC.”

The page includes MP3 presentations in the categories of mindfulness, relaxation and sleep-relaxation techniques, as well as contact information for campus counseling. Individual MP3s include topics such as guided meditation, introduction to gentle yoga and music for relaxation.
