Abstract	Prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among university students worldwide is high. In most cases, stress intervention is individual-based and involves small groups for relatively short periods. New evidence shows that stress increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021), when learning moved to online formats and social distancing was enforced worldwide. Our research focuses on a course on adjusting to stressful situations that moved online after many years of being taught in class. Based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, we showed that the course offered students two main benefits. First, the course structure was designed as a ritual, providing students with a sense of control. Second, students were engaged in a group activity, further contributing to their ability to adjust to stressful situations, as it created a platform for sharing. Findings are discussed in the context of the ongoing pandemic, and implications for coping with student stress post COVID-19 are suggested. (As Provided).
