Course Description
Positive and negative stress is a constant influence on all of our lives. The trick is to maximize the positive stress and minimize the negative stress. Your participants will be shown how stress can be positive and negative, and we’ll look at the Triple-A approach that will form the basis of this workshop. The Stress Management workshop will give participants a three-option method for addressing any stressful situation, as well as a toolbox of personal skills, including using routines, relaxation techniques, and a stress log system. They will also understand what lifestyle elements they can change to reduce stress.
