Stress Management for Women
Stress is one of the most talked-about subjects in our society today. From the instability of the job market to national tragedies, our lives seem to be more complex than the generation before us. We see it at work. We see the levels of stress in our friends, at work, at the office, and even in our daily commutes. It just seems to be all around us.
In our western culture, we have accepted a high level of stress as a normal part of life. But our health statistics, work burnout, mortality rates, mental health statistics and medication usage all tell us differently. We are not designed to handle intense levels of stress, and often we are not aware of the problem until we have developed a serious or chronic medical condition.
In my Stress Management workshop, I address these topics head on, tackling the problem, and also offering practical, user-friendly solutions that benefit the individual both personally and professionally. A free copy of Stress Less! With Bess accompanies all registrations.
Compassion Fatigue for Caregivers
Whether you are working in the counseling, emergency services, law enforcement, fire safety, medical, ministry, or another helping profession, Compassion Fatigue is a topic that affects everyone. When we are exposed to stress and/or trauma vicariously, or second-hand, it can affect us as if we are experiencing it ourselves. In this workshop you will:
- Learn what Compassion Fatigue is
- Identify the level of Compassion Fatigue you may be experiencing
- Learn principles to help manage Compassion Fatigue, both personally and professionally
- Identify resources for ongoing support
