Stress Management
As lives get busier, many people will suffer from the effects of stress at some point during their lives. It’s important that individuals are aware of the causes and can identify the symptoms of stress (both for themselves and for others), and have an awareness of coping mechanisms which are appropriate for each individual.
Please take a couple of minutes to familiarise yourself with the guidance in the Stress Management presentation below, and the accompanying top ten stress busting tips. The information also provides information relating to differentiating between the different causes and symptoms of stress, and also highlights incorrect ways to deal with stress.

You may wish to add some of these tips towards your own methods of dealing with stress, and share your own coping mechanisms with colleagues within your departments and institutes. By sharing and discussing our own experiences and practices, we can all help provide support for each other.
