The Basics of Managing Stress
Online course
CareCPD accredited
Included with Nest Learn
Chronic stress is an occupational risk in residential care and a leading cause of the turnover that destabilises homes. This course explains what stress actually is, how the body moves through alarm, resistance and exhaustion, and how to spot the point where useful pressure becomes harmful.
It then gets practical: identifying your own triggers and building a manageable response to each.
