300 or more, or a year-score total of 500 or more, indicates high stress in a clients life. However,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


positive coping mechanisms and strong social support can limit susceptibility to stress-related
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg g g g g g g g g g g


illnesses.
