From here, the concept of Tipping the Scales is introduced, and participants will identify what factors (stressors) tip the scales for them. Positive and negative stress will be defined; leading to a detailed look at how stress affects us with participants completing a stress index questionnaire. The stress cycle will be explored along with best practice coping strategies.Participants will be introduced to the Change Your Mind, Change Your Behaviour approach to stress management. The workshop concludes with a group activity – assessment of a workplace scenario and recommendations.
