Stress Management Talk for Parents and Family Support Workers

Stress is extremely common; Ireland recently ranked as the 6th most stressful country in Europe. If you’re a parent, you experience specific stressors and despite the rewards of parenting, it can also be challenging. However, managing stress improves your psychological wellbeing and reduces the risk of ‘parental burnout’ and impacts positively on your child’s wellbeing. Alternatively, do you work with families? Despite being a fulfilling role, sometimes the demands of the job are stressful. Therefore, managing stress improves your psychological wellbeing and reduces the risk of ‘burnout’ and impacts positively on the working relationship with the families you support. This talk will address:

· What is stress and ‘burnout’ and why do we get stressed?

· Learning to recognise the symptoms of stress.

· What is the impact of stress on my child’s wellbeing, or the families I work with?

· How do I manage stress, reducing risk of parental or work-related ‘burnout’.

· What supports are available.
