How to Chill.ca - A Website for Girls and Dealing with Stress

Howtochill.ca is an interactive website for teen girls full of tips on how to deal with stress. The Child Development Institute, in partnership with parents and communities conducted a research project with 50 girls in Toronto to determine what makes them stressed, what does it feel like and what to do to cope with it.

Stress-related issues explored include:

• Pressure to do well in school
• Pressure to fit in with their friends and measure up to other people's expectations
• Problems with family, friends or in dating relationships
• Taking on too many things at the same time
• Having to decide what they're going to do when they leave school; and
• Pressure to try alcohol or drugs or to have sex
