Course overview of Stress and Resilience
This Stress and Resilience training course explores what stress is and recognising the signs and symptoms. However, life and work can be stressful. As well as not recognising when you are stressed and not taking action to manage stress, can have a serious impact on you, the people around you and the people you work with. In addition, it might even mean you are not able to work.
More recent thinking suggests that stress is only harmful to our health if we believe it is. Furthermore, in this stress and resilience training course we explain stress and how to notice it. In addition, we also support you to understand resilience and take positive action to build your own resilience. We share resources, including recent research suggesting a different approach to how we view and respond to stress. Are you stressed or excited about doing this course? Either way, clap your hands, rub them together and exercise those fingers on your screen or keyboard.
