What is an Introduction to Stress at Work course?

The Introduction to Stress at Work course is for individuals and teams who want to develop their understanding of stress, improve their ability to manage stress and optimise their wellbeing at work and in their personal life. It is particularly relevant for people across all industries including telecommunications and utilities, retail, and financial and public services, who are interested in managing stress at work, those experiencing persistent stress, or anyone interested in learning effective stress management techniques and tools.

Across the two modules, learners will develop the skills to improve resilience and self-awareness of stress, helping them better recognise and manage their responses to stressful situations. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of wellbeing support and stress and learn practical techniques to apply them in their daily lives, reducing work-related stress, boosting productivity and reducing absenteeism.

  • recognising stress and understanding its causes
  • the impact of stress and trauma
  • building a trauma-informed workplace using the CALMER framework
  • managing stress and enabling resilience
  • using mindfulness to improve wellbeing
  • strategies and tools for managing stress in your team

  • different reactions to difficult situations
  • powerful emotions, feelings and ambiguous loss
  • the Red Cross CALMER framework tool for use in emotionally challenging situations
  • effective communication and active listening
  • identifying the needs of others, effective responses, resources and support strategies

Our learning options

We offer a number of learning options for your convenience.

 

How our trainer-led (in-person) training works

Course learners can attend a physical course either in one of our training venues or at your own premises. In-person courses allow learners to interact face to face with their trainer and peers, helping to build relationships and teambuilding skills.

It typically involves group discussions, a mixture of visual content, and practical activities to make the course interactive and engaging for all learning styles. 

 

 

How our trainer-led virtual training works

Our virtual learning is a live trainer-led class and includes all the same course content and discussion you would expect to find in our in-person courses, with adapted interactive elements.

Virtual learning offers a range of benefits, including increased flexibility, convenience and accessibility for learners. It is particularly useful if you have a team spread over a large geographical area or have a hybrid working arrangement.

How our online learning works and what happens next

Our online courses offer the same course content as our in-person and virtual courses, available as e-learning modules for the learner to complete at home or in the office.

After purchase, you will receive an email with access to log into out online learning platform.

 

How it works for the learner

Learners can access the course materials through our learning management system at their own convenience.

The course modules can be completed independently – a great choice for those that prefer to work through learning at their own pace and have time limitations. It can also be beneficial to those who may not be comfortable talking about mental health publicly.

Questions that you may be thinking of

Our face to face and virtual courses are CPD accredited. CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development and is the term used to describe the learning activities in which professionals engage in to develop and enhance their abilities.

Accredited CPD training means the learning activity has reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks. The learning value has been scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality.

Mental health training can be emotionally challenging, but our experienced trainers are skilled at helping individuals cope with any challenges that may arise during the training programme. Some learners may experience unexpected emotions during the training because of past experiences. The course content is varied and may include relatable trauma or crises experienced by some individuals.

If you, or your learners, have any concerns they wish to discuss prior to the course please get in touch with our team.

Suitable for learners over the age of 16.
