Science of Stress
- Maximum number of delegates: 12
- Duration: 90 minutes
This course explores the science of stress so delegates leave empowered to recognise their stress signs and equipped to respond to themselves in a kind and healthy manner.
When we are in stressful situations, our body releases chemicals to stimulate specific physical responses. If these chemicals are not used, they accumulate in our system. Over time, our capacity to cope with life can become reduced.
We get noticeably stressed more easily and can end up in a cycle of negative feelings, critical of our inability to manage whilst simultaneously being overwhelmed by the situations we find ourselves in.
This course helps people break that cycle so they feel better able to be kind to themself whilst they manage life’s challenges.
By the end of the session, participants will:
- Have an understanding of the body’s chemical responses to stress
- Identify their own stress triggers
- Understand how to monitor and regulate their stress levels
- Explored how stress presents in different people
- Learn five stress management activities
Following the course, delegates will have the tools to manage their own stress. They will also understand how stress presents in their colleagues so they can empower each other towards excellent self-care.
“We loved learning new approaches to looking after ourselves.”
Rachel, Wellbeing for Changemakers, 2023
I know how hard it is to work in a demanding role. Finding time to practice self-care can feel ridiculously challenging.
Because I ‘get it’ I’ve been able to design sessions that work, making sure to incorporate plenty of simple, practical tools so people who do difficult jobs can take better care of themselves.
