Life presents challenges that are often beyond our control. We do have control over how we face those challenges. The Yale Stress Center conducts research on the science of stress and translates new findings to personalized clinical care to optimize your potential and function. Though stress reduction is the ultimate goal, it is in the day to day where changes can be made so that full potential is realized. Extensive research has shown that decreased stress through a number of different strategies from stress management to the reduction in use of addictive substances and high fat foods each have significant positive benefits to health outcomes.
The Yale Stress Center provides a setting for both treatment and research to co-exist. Our clinical treatment services address ongoing stress and stress-related behaviors that negatively affect health. Cutting edge interdisciplinary science on the deleterious effects of stress and adversity, how stress and lifestyle choices promote chronic diseases, and new treatments to optimize functioning under stress is being conducted to improve health outcomes and preempt disease and relapse.
