Effective Stress Management – On Demand
Facilitated by Acentra
Without understanding the physical stress response, it can be difficult to develop
healthy coping strategies to tackle stress effectively, causing a build-up of stress
hormones in the mind and body, which leads to significant health issues, such as burnout
and depression.

Caring for You While You Care for Others – On Demand
Facilitated by Acentra
Caring affects an individual, their family, their relationships, and their work in
many ways—practically, physically, emotionally, and financially. When people are simply
coping day-to-day and responding to the needs of others, it is easy to neglect their
wellbeing. But there are ways to make simple changes to promote a better sense of
health and well-being, whatever an individual’s caring role might be.
