This webinar has a unique theme which is relevant to what is happening to the world
from 2019 until 2021 right now. The concept and the theme of managing stress due to
COVID-19 pandemic. As we know, this lockdown policy is a way to reduce the potential for
the spread of Covid-19, although in its journey it creates new problems for the community,
namely panic, fear and anxiety in the community or what is known as stress. Therefore, it is
necessary for SMP Panca Budi Medan held this event for everyone to be able to manage
stress during this lockdown.
Last but not least, my deepest gratitude goes to, organizing committee, institutions,

seminar. The committee has organized the international webinar and is working hard to
present highly respected and internationally notorious speakers to lead it. Although we try
