Understanding Stress and How to Manage It

It is the duty of all staff within education to protect and promote the wellbeing of their students, but what about the staff themselves?

Head teachers and their staff teams are under increasing pressure to perform at a higher academic level, with fewer resources.  As the academic pressure increases, there is less time in schools for creativity, social interaction and reflection. With increasing numbers of experienced teachers leaving the profession, or leaving to work abroad it is evident that stress and anxiety evels within staff teams are rising.

This course will enable you to understand what stress is and how you can implement stress-management strategies into your everyday life. You’ll also learn how to recognise common patterns and find ways to limit the damaging effects that stress can have on your health.
