Why a Stress & Stress Management Seminar?

Stress & Health Management

Why a stress and health seminar?

Mental stress is associated with every occupational and age group, and with life events as diverse as bereavement, moving house, divorce and retirement. It has been the centre of much media attention because of the growing evidence linking it with heart disease, hypertension, anxiety and a range of other physical, mental and behavioural disorders. Such attention also stems from our increasing ability to scientifically explain the mechanisms of many stress-induced disorders.

A recent survey has indicated that half a million Britons suffer illnesses related to stress at work. The ways in which you cope with stress may actually be more dangerous to your health than the stress itself, when such ways of coping include smoking, poor diet or overeating, excess alcohol and too little exercise. Stress intervention strategies involve learning new ways to cope with stress. There is growing evidence that such strategies can be extremely cost effective, particularly given the increasing number of out of court payments to workers suffering job stress.

This seminar is designed to provide the individual with an appreciation of the practical importance of diet, exercise and stress management in maintaining physical and mental health.
