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.
Delegate comments from recent Stress Management Techniques courses:
"This was a really good and thought provoking course. Packed with nuggets of wisdom and reminders about what our bodies and minds really need to be happy and healthy and not stressed and unhealthy as a consequence. I enjoyed the breakout rooms as they gave us a chance to reflect on our own experiences as well as hearing from others."
“I know what I should do, but attending the course has helped me reaffirm why I must do it.”
Course Content
The course commences with a comprehensive review of stress awareness and how participants can recognise its signs and symptoms in themselves and in their colleagues. The legal responsibilities of employers and employees is reviewed and the course is put into context with the organisation’s existing health and well-being policies and support systems.
