Stress relievers

The winter semester in winding down, which means many Parkland College students are battling stress associated with final exams, assignments, and deadlines. To help give students a break, the College worked with the local branch of St. John Ambulance to bring a certified therapy dog to the main campus in Yorkton.Lurch, a five-year-old Greyhound/Irish Wolfhound mix, visited with students during the lunch hour on April 15. Studies show that interacting with animals can decrease stress, lower blood pressure, and improve your mood.
