24 Jun 19
8:40 AM - 9:40 AM

Tracks: Professional Practice

This workshop offers a combination of knowledge and skills designed to enhance resilience, recognize stress behaviors, prevent further harm, and promote recovery for those who have stress injuries.  Stress impacts people across stress zones that range from effective stress management (green), through reacting (yellow), injured (orange), and ill (red).  Everyone reacts to stress in some way and most people do not need help for daily stressors.  However, in high stress professions, there can be exposure to intense or prolonged stress which can result in a stress injury.  This workshop offers an expanded understanding of how stress develops and life style practices which can counter and prevent the impact of stress.
