Stress Management

We offer Stress Management courses in Manchester, Dorset, In-House and Online

Overview

For over 30 years work-related stress depression and anxiety has been one of the leading causes of employee ill-health and absence in UK businesses. But the negative effects of harmful stress don’t end there, it can also affect vital areas, such as staff retention, collaborative working, customer satisfaction, quality, and creativity amongst others. This interactive workshop introduces delegates to a risk-based approach to the management of work-related stress. Throughout the session, learners will take part in interactive and engaging quizzes, individual and group exercises enabling them to reflect on how the learning outcomes could be implemented within their organisation.

Who needs this qualification?

The various mental health & wellbeing courses aim to increase mental health literacy, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and equip individuals with the skills to offer assistance until professional help is available.
