Stress affects a large proportion of the population and can cause some serious risks to health. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, all employers must ensure the health and safety of their employees, including minimising the risk of stress-related illness.

This Stress Awareness course aims to show how the root causes of stress can be dealt with successfully, how you can better cope with stressful situations, how employers can adapt the workplace to improve employee welfare and outlines how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be used to control the level of stress you experience.

This online Stress Awareness training also provides a range of useful and practical ways and strategies in which both employers and employees can deal with stress and reduce it to a manageable level.
