In this workshop we will address stress as a potentially positive as well as negative part of our lives. We will work through a process of stress management where the focus is upon each individual developing an understanding of their own stress triggers, symptoms & stress levels, & targeting these towards becoming a healthy motivational force. Individuals will develop ‘stress-proofing’ techniques which can be used in the workplace in addition to elsewhere. We discuss stressors unique to school staff, consider how to recognise signs of stress in ourselves / colleagues / children, & discuss how we may potentially support others
