Training Stress Management

How do you deal with stress?
Does it encourage you to give your all, or do you feel paralysed and anxious?

Stress is a hot topic; especially among students. Frequently mentioned sources of stress are studies, personal or financial problems and worries about the future (e.g. housing, climate etc).

The good news? You can influence some of the stress factors you experience. 

During this four-session training, we will explore how stress works, how it affects your body and behaviour, and—most importantly—what you can do to manage it more effectively in your student life.

Session 1 - Understanding Stress

We will explore what stress is and why we need it. We will look at both the helpful and unhelpful sides of stress, what happens in your body when you experience it, how to recognise psysiological stress and how prolonged or excessive stress can affect your physical and mental wellbeing.

Session 2 - Recognising & Regulating Stress

In this session, you will learn more about how you personally experience stress and what signals your body and mind give you when stress is building up. Together, you will develop a personal stress signals plan and learn to recognise your own early warning signs.

Session 3 - Building Resilience to Stress

In this session we will build further on your ability to regulate stress using key principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness.

Session 4 - Study Behaviour & Time Management

In the final session, we will explore how your approach to studying can influence both stress and motivation. We will look at practical strategies for planning, prioritising, and managing your time, but also at the mindset and habits that support effective studying. 

Please note: we require a minimum number of students to participate in this training. If too few have registered, then we will have to cancel the training unfortunately.
