Stress Management

    

Summary:
Stress has become America's #1 pre-occupation. Working Americans increasingly blame their difficulties on too much stress - at work and at home. We're "stressed out" or "stressed to the max". Many complain, "I just can't take the stress anymore." Are all these people crazy or are we really under more pressure today than we were 10 or 20 years ago? Whatever the answer, more and more of us are losing the battle with stress. We're experiencing a great deal of physical and emotional symptoms which are caused by 1) too much stress and 2) not managing our lives in ways which reduce the impact of stress.The purpose of this course is to help individuals understand what stress is, what causes the most stress, and how to handle life's pressures better. Participants will learn practical stress management techniques which they can start using immediately. Using a combination of mini-lectures, small group discussions, and hands-on exercises, the trainer will engage participants in a practical and meaningful learning experience.
