Stress causes inflammation, serious disease and a lot of emotional pain. You know when you're stressed - usually you're unhappy, snappy and irritable and mean to be around. But what's it doing inside your body? Well, promoting heart disease, arthritis, dementia and lots more nasty things.
This workshop will look at the physical effects of stress on the body, the emotional toll it can take on people, including those around us, and find practical solutions to dealing with it.
If you're an employer with some stressed employees, this course can be tailored to your workplace, and delivered over 2 mornings or 2 afternoons. If more than half an hour's travel is involved, there is a surcharge for travel time.
