Course Description:

Prolonged periods of unmanaged stress can lead to multiple health issues, such as cardiovascular problems, lower immunity, a decreased response to vaccine, slower wound healing, and higher levels of chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, arthritis, ulcers, and anemia). We see the results of ongoing stress levels in the clients we support, their caregivers, who are often referred to as “the second patient,” and our own colleagues. These people are then at an increased risk of overwhelming physical, social, and financial burdens. How can we support caregivers and colleagues to manage their stress and prevent such negative physiological and secondary risks of chronic stress, resulting in improved care for the clients we serve? And how can we improve clinical outcomes of our clients by helping them to manage high stress levels that often occur with so many changing factors in their lives?

This course was developed for professionals and health care providers in multiple settings and will initially review the physiological response to ongoing stress, followed by the keys to recognizing the sources and symptoms of stress. Multiple types and levels of support strategies will be shared, including practical strategies and the rationales of how each one can be effective.
