Handling Stress and Avoiding Burnout
Description: Stress is inevitable. It walks in and out of our lives on a regular basis. Burnout is a mixture of professional exhaustion, and disillusionment with other people, the organization, or the career, over the long term. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to minimize and cope with stress and learn how to avoid burnout.
The course aims to introduce participants to a holistic model of stress and raise understanding of stress causes, mechanisms and effects, how stress impacts teaching ability and provide them with practical tools for dealing with stress. During the course, participants will identify their stress and emotional triggers in a work context and come up with new, more resourceful strategies.

Pre-Registration Form
It has been very positive experience and I will be using the knowledge gained in the workplace as well as my personal life.
I have learned a lot from the course trainer as well as I have benefited by exchanging views and opinions with my European colleagues.
Very positive experience! Useful material presented relevant to my wellbeing and prevention of stress and burnout – right to the point! Definitely worth attending!
The course has enabled me to realise the signs/symptoms of stress in myself and others around me and has also highlighted the risk of constant stress turning into burnout and its prevention.
