Self-Care: How to Deal with Stress

In this lecture, Fr. Roger gives us a nuanced take on stress, and how humans react to it.

Fr Roger Champoux received his high school and college education in the Collège des Jésuites of Québec and graduated in 1958. He joined the Jesuit order in August the same year, and studied Philosophy in Montreal. After spending time in Vietnam and the Philippines, he studied Psychology at the Institute of Psychology of the Gregorian University in Rome. In 1976, he settled in the Philippines where he was assigned to the East Asian Pastoral Institute while being the director of Our Lady of Peace Guidance Center. He has resided in the Loyola House of Studies since 1990, and continues to work in the aforementioned Guidance Center while attaining his PhD in Psychology at Ateneo de Manila. Over the years, he has worked as a part-time lecturer in the Graduate School of the Ateneo de Manila Department of Psychology.
