Beating stress

A half-day workshop

We all tend to have challenges throughout our lives that cause varying levels of pressure. It is healthy and essential that people experience such challenges because up to a certain point an increase in pressure improves performance and quality of life.

Too much pressure can be harmful and affect our health and wellbeing. This participative half-day workshop will explore the causes and impact of stress and provide an opportunity to learn some new ideas and techniques to cope with it. Practical tasks and exercises will be used to promote discussion and participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and approaches.

Learning objectives

By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:

  • Understand the causes and symptoms of stress and how to spot them
  • Become more aware of personal habitual behaviours and approaches that get in the way of dealing with stress productively
  • Learn ideas and approaches that help you to cope with the thoughts, emotions and physical feelings that happen in stressful and difficult situations
  • Review and evaluate learning and have an action plan to take back and put into practice at work
