Understanding and managing stress

Tutor: Emma Hackett, professional coach and Mental Health First Aider

Join professional coach and Mental Health First Aider, Emma, as she discusses the impact of stress on our mental health and wellbeing. Emma explains the stress response, what happens in the mind and body, and how stress is the root cause of up to 80% of all GP consultations in the UK. She explores the sources of stress, how to recognise the mental and physical signs of stress, explores unhelpful coping mechanisms and highlights helpful alternatives.
