Workshop Overview

• Stress and links with mental health
  • What is stress and how does it link with mental health. Is all    bad, or does it help us to perform? But what happens when people   become overwhelmed, or experiences prolonged periods of stress?
     
• Sources of Stress
  • Sources of stress are different from one person to the next. In particular the workshop will focus on the impact of social media and bullying.
     
• Managing your own stress
  • In much the same way our sources of stress may be different, so too are   the ways in which individuals manage stress. Drawing on the   participants own experiences, preventative tools and techniques will be  shared.
     
• Supporting Others
  • Knowing the signs and symptoms it is possible to notice when an   individual is experiencing prolonged periods of stress. Being able to   open a conversation is key to providing support and participants will   have the opportunity to put new skills into practice.
     
• Available resources
  • A comprehensive review of the vast range of support and resources   that are available will be shared.
