Staying Positive under Pressure - Managing Stress Effectively
Are you feeling that you have too much to do at work and at home, and not enough time to do everything? Are you feeling tired, maybe even a bit under the weather? Perhaps you feel that you are under too much pressure or perhaps you know you are suffering from STRESS!

Stress creates physical changes that are short-term and, even worse, some that are long-term. We cannot prevent stress, it is a reaction built into our system to help us overcome times of danger, but we can learn to manage stress effectively.
This very popular one-day course is being offered to all voluntary and care sector staff through an arrangement between PJEndicott and the Resource Centres in Gladstone Road, Northampton and Patrick Road, Corby.

The course will allow participants to:

• understand the difference between pressure and stress,
• accurately identify when they are moving into the stress zone and take steps to reverse this,
• use practical relaxation exercises that DO make a difference (we use bio dots so you can see yourself relax).

We also take a look at:

• restoring life balance,
• how our thoughts contribute to stress and how we can overcome this,
• and most important of all how we can work on five areas of our life to improve our wellbeing and develop resilience to stress.

Working in the care sector, for a charity or in a voluntary or community organisation can be just as stressfull as working in the commercial sector, and at times more so.

Pat Endicott has been deeply involved in the Third Sector for many years, as both a salaried member of staff and as a volunteer. Pat knows only too well the pressures of working to always produce the best outcome with a limited budget and just as limited resources. Therefore we are delighted to make this highly popular course available to Northamptonshire organisations at a price they CAN afford through the generosity of the Gladstone Road Resource Centre in Northampton and Patrick Road Resource Centre in Corby.
