We all know that the act of living involves stress. Yet, in order to support ourselves and others to live ‘better’, it’s important to recognise the specificity of context, conditions and the individual.

In this two day workshop, you will:
- Shift your thinking around who is vulnerable
- Discover what the latest research is revealing about chronic stress
- Gain clarity on emotional dissonance, buffers and, coping strategies
- Understand the importance of recovery and sleep
