Stress Management (PowerPoint PPTX)

Today's workforce is experiencing job burnout and stress in epidemic proportions. Workers at all levels feel stressed out, insecure, and misunderstood. Many people feel the demands of the workplace, combined with the demands of home, have become too much to handle. This one-day workshop explores the causes of such stress, and suggests general and specific stress management strategies that people can use every day.

This one-day workshop will help you teach participants how to:
•  Understand that stress is an unavoidable part of everybody's life
•  Recognize the symptoms that tell you when you have chronic stress overload
•  Change the situations and actions that can be changed
•  Deal better with situations and actions that can't be changed
•  Create an action plan for work, home, and play to help reduce and manage stress

Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction to the demands of life. A small amount of stress can be good, motivating you to perform well. But multiple challenges daily, such as sitting in traffic, meeting deadlines and paying bills, can push you beyond your ability to cope.

Your brain comes hard-wired with an alarm system for your protection. When your brain perceives a threat, it signals your body to release a burst of hormones that increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure. This "fight-or-flight" response fuels you to deal with the threat.
