Addressing Stress
Everyone experiences stress. Learning how to identify, manage and reduce stress makes you more resilient!
Not all stress is bad stress. “Positive stress” can propel learning, growth, and achievement at work. “Negative stress” is the type we want to address. Negative stress at work can come from a number of factors including workload, long hours, or lack of support. Prolonged negative stress can affect our mental health, from how we feel day-to-day to how we act, cope, and perform at our jobs.
This module aims to help you identify, manage and reduce negative stress at work. By accomplishing this, we’re building greater resilience to help protect against the effects of stressful environments—making us more likely to perceive demands as challenges rather than threats, and ultimately, equipping us to cope better with any stress that comes our way.
