The behavioral and social factors associated with stress have been extensively studied in literature for many years. A body of recent works demonstrated how stress is reflected in individual's everyday behavior, and can be measured by sensors. Studies show that many of these behaviors are socially constructed. However, little has been done to find the stressors in one's social network and help one cope accordingly. We propose here a system to find the stress network around an individual that contributes to her stress status. Furthermore, we also present a strategy for coping by exploiting this stress network. We argue that our proposed design can benefit individuals by making them more stress-resilient over time by exploiting their social bonds.
