Stress management and coping with pressure

Whether pressure from work, difficulties in home life, or a combination of the two, the purpose of this course is to address the stress and help you develop ways to cope with it.

The first step to dealing with stress and coping with pressure is identification of the issue(s). As such, the first chapter of this course will examine what might be causing stress in various situations/contexts and how to identify those stressors.
