Stress Control

6 weekly classes to help you

cope better with stress in your life.

–

This is a free course open to the members of the public who feel they might benefit from stress management.  The course will use the “Stresspac” materials, which were developed by Dr Jim White (Consultant Clinical Psychologist) and are based on the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model of anxiety.  Outcome studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of these materials in primary care settings.

Aims:

• To enable participants to learn about stress and anxiety.
• To help participants to understand their anxiety problems.
• To enable the participants to control stress and anxiety.

Format

• Six weekly 1½  hour sessions (with a 10 minute break).
• Participants will not be required to ask questions or share information during sessions.
• This is not a therapy group – instead material is taught using lecture-style presentations.
• Self-help material (the “Stresspac” folder) will be provided at the first session and individuals will be encouraged to make use of course materials between sessions.
• Participants may be accompanied by family members or friends.
• The course is generally aimed at individuals with mild to moderate difficulties who may benefit from a self-help approach to stress management.
