  • 2/7 Effective Stress Management Webinar

    Today, February 7th 2023, 12:00pm - 1:00pm 

    In honor of National Heart Health Month, join Human Resources & Deer Oaks for this informative webinar on how to manage stress in conjunction with your physical health.

    Working under excessive pressure for a prolonged period can result in chronic stress, which can have a significant adverse impact on our mental and physical health. Without intervention, stress can contribute to mood disorders, as well as elevated blood pressure, heart rate, and levels of stress hormones.

    Without understanding the physical stress response, it can be difficult to develop healthy coping strategies to help us tackle stress in an effective way, causing a build-up of stress hormones in our minds and bodies, which leads to more significant health issues, such as burnout and depression.

     Following this session, participants will be able to:

    • Understand the science of the stress response

    • Recognize your own stress triggers

    • Develop to ability to respond rather than react

    • Discover powerful stress busting strategies
