Learning Community | Handling Stress
Wednesday, May 13, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | via Zoom | REGISTER HERE
Join us for an engaging and interactive session in the Northern & Central CA CUPA-HR Learning Community focused on a topic that touches all of us in higher education HR: Handling Stress.
HR professionals are often the steady presence in moments of change, conflict, urgency, and uncertainty — supporting others while managing complex demands of our own. This session is designed as a peer exchange, not a lecture. Together, we’ll explore the unique stressors of HR roles, share practical strategies that actually work, and learn simple, science-informed techniques you can use immediately in your workday.
Through small group discussion and real-life scenario practice, you’ll walk away with practical tools, helpful tips and tricks, and collective wisdom from colleagues across our region — all focused on building sustainable ways to manage stress in our roles.
Join us for a supportive and energizing conversation with fellow HR professionals across Northern and Central California.
