Stress Management Techniques

In-House Training Courses > Stress Management Techniques

A course to enhance participants understanding of stress and
equip them with tools and techniques to enable them to
boost their health and wellbeing.

Course Context

The Stress Management Techniques course enables participants to understand the triggers and symptoms of stress and differentiate them from everyday pressure.  A toolkit of stress management techniques and exercises is provided for participants to use in the work environment and in their own time to boost their health and wellbeing.

The course is practical and engaging and includes a variety of individual exercises. Delegates will also benefit from revisiting the exercises after the course when they have the time and space to think fully about their life and the issues raised.

Key Benefits

  • learn the physical and psychological signs of stress at work and at home
  • distinguish between pressures that can and cannot be controlled
  • understand employee and employer responsibilities under Health & Safety regulations
  • develop action plans to tackle the most important and controllable sources of pressure
  • learn the basics of positive psychology (what causes wellbeing and happiness)
  • understand what work life balance means and how to build a more healthy balance to life

Who Is It For?

Any staff member within an organisation would benefit from Stress Management Techniques training. As stress is subjective, people need to observe and learn various strategies to enable them to select those that will work best for them.

 

The course content and capacity can be customised for individuality and to ensure organisations’ specific learning criteria are met. Consultancy to manage stress is also an option either as a standalone service or in conjunction with training.

A testimonial for the Stress Management Techniques Course:

 

"Syngenta ran the training sessions at various locations around the UK and found it to be valuable and well received by both managers and individuals.
In Equilibrium were able to adapt their style and material to the needs of the local areas without compromising the content.
The content included a good mix of theory and practical discussion and the workbooks and other resources are useful materials."
