University Counseling and Psychological Services and its student advisory board launched the Stressbusters Wellness mobile application earlier this month during Winterfest, a student orga- nization fair held in the Michigan Union Jan. 15. The app is current- ly available for no cost on both iOS and Android phones. The Wellness app includes many stress-reducing features including those customized for University students. Users can use the app to share daily stress-reduc- ing and emotional health tips and view news alerts, videos and audio WHAT IS YOURfavorite? CLUB PIZZA UM FAN APPAREL VOTE TODAY' BEST OF ANN ARBOR 2014 tracks that dictate simple stress relieving exercises. The app also includes one-touch emergency buttons, among other features. "We're really trying to reach all students to address what is going on underneath all the stress and anxiety," said CAPS Director Todd Sevig. "We hope this is one part of that overall focus for us." The app was produced by the national Stressbusters Wellness program and was customized to meet the needs of college stu dents. The University is among one of the first higher education institutionss to adopt the app. JordaoaFriedmno, director of the Natioonal Stressbusters Wellness program, said the app serves to give studeots an1 opportunity to access the organizations resources. "Not everyone can come to a Stressbusters event," Friedman said. "We wanted to be able to get students and staff convenient stress reduction and relaxation resources wherever they are." Although the app was devel- oped this year, the idea to bring an app to campus centering on stu- dent wellness was initiated by the SAB two years ago. CAPS and the SAB worked on bringing the app to the University during fall 2013. In preparation for the app's launch, CAPS col- lected student-written encour- agement messages and made videos with a University-focus on stress management. The app also includes videos created by the national program. Sevig added that in the future, the app may include pictures of relaxing places on campus in addi- tion to the written messages. The Wellness app also includes a Health Rewards system that allows students to accumulate points for participating in CAPS programs. Students can redeem points for discounts and Universi- ty-themed items. "We have seen increased num- bers of students feeling anxiety," Sevig said. "We're trying to get creative and address some of the root causing creating stress and anxiety on our campus." Protesters march in central Kiev, Ukraine, Monday. Ukraine's justice minister is threatening to call for a state-of emergency unless protesters leave her ministry building, which they occupied during the night. After backlash against police, Ukraine reverses protest laws Pending amnesty offer may bring end to protests KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukraine's beleaguered presi- dent on Monday agreed to scrap harsh anti-protest laws that set off a wave of clashes between protesters and police over the past week, a potential- ly substantial concession to the opposition that stopped short of meeting all of its demands. In a possibly major stick- ing point, a proposed amnesty for arrested protesters would not be offered unless dem- onstrators stopped occupy- ing buildings and ended their round-the-clock protests and tent camp on Kiev's central Independence Square, accord- ing to a statement by Justice Minister Elena Lukash on the presidential website. President Viktor Yanu- kovych has been under increas- ing pressure since he pushed the tough laws through parlia- ment, setting of clashes and protests in other parts of the country in a sharp escalation of tensions after weeks of mostly peaceful protests over his rejec- tion of a deal to deepen ties with the 28-nation European Union. At a meeting between top opposition figures and Yanu- kovych late Monday "a political decision was made on scrap- ping the laws of Jan. 16, which aroused much discussion," Lukash said. She made no mention of a key opposition demand - that Yanukovych resign. One of the opposition figures, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, turned down the prime minister's job, which Yanukovych had offered him on Saturday, the statement said. Eliminating the laws, which is likely to be done in a spe- cial parliament session Tues- day, appears to be a serious step back for the government. The session is also expected to include a discussion of gov- ernment responsibility in the crisis, suggesting a cabinet reshuffle could be imminent. It was not immediately clear how the announcement would be received. On Independence Square, there was no immedi- ate reaction from the relatively small crowd gathered in bitter cold near midnight. A key issue will be the amnesty offer, which could allow for the release of dozens of protesters currently being held in jail in exchange for an end to the demonstrations. The statement did not say the opposition would agree to those terms. Doing so could infuri- ate radical factions within the broad-based protest movement, such as the group called Right Sector that has driven much of the recent violence. Several hours before the statement, Right Sector issued its own demands, which include punishing officials responsible for the deaths and abuse of protesters, disbanding Ukraine's feared riot police and locating all missing opposition figures. Protest leaders say scores of people have gone missing, pre- sumably arrested. Three protesters died in the clashes last week, two of whom were shot by hunting rifles, which police insist they do not use. Protesters have been afraid that authorities were preparing to end the spreading demon- strations by force, but the for- eign ministry said earlier the government has no immediate plans to declare a state of emer- gency.
