Dealing with stress and pressure in grad school

[Kas21]

Hi everyone, 

Hope everyone is good - my name is Kas, and I'm new to the grad cafe. 

I'm also a student on an innovation course and looking to create resources to support early career researchers in dealing with challenges they face when it comes to supporting their mental health and well-being. 

If you're a student or early-career researcher (self-defined), I'd love to have an informal chat with you. It will be quick (~15-20 minutes), and we can do Zoom or any other platform you want.  Please drop me a message or reply to this thread, if you're interested. 

The questions would be around things like your workflow when you feel stressed/pressured, what is/was your process for finding a solution, how did you find that solution, and what were the barriers to finding it.  

Your feedback will help to create resources and tools for early career researchers to deal with the crazy stress and pressure of academia.

Thanks, and I hope to chat soon, 

Kas
