Stress is a fact of 21st century life – but what is stress? And how can we manage the sources of stress in our own lives more effectively?

This lively and interactive workshop provides insight into what stress is all about, insights participants then apply to the stressful situations in their own lives.

2.    Use this understanding to come up with effective strategies for managing the stressors in their lives;

3.    Practice simple but effective stress management techniques, including progressive muscle relaxation and challenging self-sabotaging thoughts.
