Success with Stress
Six-Session Video Course
Each session focuses on a specific
stress-related issue and helps participants:
- perceive and understand good and bad stress in their lives
- learn how their value and belief systems effect their stress levels
- identify positive coping skills that work for them
- create action plans to successfully manage their stress
If stress is ignored or poorly handled it builds up and over time can cause serious long-term problems. Helpful, thought-provoking, action-oriented questions and numerous positive coping strategies to successfully manage stress are woven throughout the video sessions.
