Charlene Richard (Author)
"Stress is one of the most common health issues being presented today. The negative impacts of stress on physical, mental and emotional health have been proven repeatedly. This book was created out of a need for health care professionals to have stress management strategies they could teach their patients, or clients, in a short period of time. Here you will find 20 different strategies, each with a teaching script and patient handout, that you can use to teach stress management in a quick and effective manner. Choose from the following categories: self-management strategies, relaxation strategies, grounding strategies, cognitive strategies, mindfulness strategies and life skills strategies. These strategies have been taught by professionals in various settings, including primary care, mental health, community health organizations, addiction centers, community counselling agencies, non-profit organizations, domestic violence shelters, secondary and post-secondary classrooms and many other programs providing health care or social services. Whether you are a student in a health care, social service or teaching field just beginning to help people, or a professional looking to enhance your toolbox, this book will provide you with strategies you can implement immediately."-- Provided by publisher
