Description:

Stress is the nervous system’s signal to the body to gear up and be ready for action – an automatic response to change that is essential in many situations.

In today’s fast-paced society, many people get caught in continuous stress activation, which undermines well-being, cognitive function, and social skills – often long before serious illness occurs.

This lecture provides participants with:

• Insight into the mechanisms of stress in body and mind

• Knowledge of how understanding the nervous system can motivate action and provide tools to prevent unhealthy stress

• Practical perspectives on strengthening well-being in the workplace and in other areas of life
