lifestyle choices can contribute to stress and how we can
work toward making different choices.

Workshop
Outline:
As facilitator,
you have the option of using a variety of training methods
for each workshop. This includes large group discussions,
individual work and reflection, small group discussions &
exercises, case studies and simulations for role play.
Customization will be based on your own needs or information
provided by your human resource department or the individual
department prior to the workshop. Materials are designed as
interactive workshops with a 40/60 split between
concept/theory and practical application of skills
discussed. Class size should be kept under 20, whenever
possible, so each participant will have the opportunity to
gain techniques for the types of situations they deal with
or expect to deal with.
 |
Learning
Objectives
|
| |
The workshop
begins with individual introductions and a group exercise to
put everybody at ease. This is followed by a large group
discussion about the effects of stress, and why we need to
give more than lip service to developing strategies for
managing that stress. |
|
|
Exploring
Stress
|
| |
A large group
discussion complete with diagrams to illustrate what stress
does to our bodies and our minds if it is allowed to go
unchecked. |
|
|
Identifying
Symptoms of Stress
|
| |
Individuals rate
themselves and their stress levels on each of several types
of charts or scales, with the understanding that there is no
reward for proving that you are more stressed out than
others. The only reward is getting a handle on the amount
of stress we do feel. |
