Stress & Pressure Management

The practical, holistic, and supportive environment created on this one day course empowers participants to focus on a pro-active response to stress, with emphasis on preventive measures and, where practical, elimination of the causes of stress, rather than on the treatment of its effects.

Stress is becoming an increasingly global phenomenon affecting all countries, all professions and all categories of workers, families and society in general. There is evidence that the experience of stress at work is associated with changes in both behaviour and physiological function, which may both be detrimental to employees’ health. Stress can contribute to the development of various symptoms of occupational ill health and of physical and psychological disorders.

Anyone who finds stress an increasing problem specifically at work or their life in general will find this course invaluable. It is especially useful for anyone who is seeking to increase their personal and professional effectiveness through changing old patterns of behaviour.
