We live in a busy world where there are a lot of demands and pressures on us, which can tax or stress us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

King Solomon wrote more than 3,000 years ago . . . “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23

Above all else is a big claim and suggests this is vital for life. You can’t “guard your heart”, unless you are deliberately and continually intentional.

During the “Effective Stress” Webinar we are going to focus on how do you react when you are under stress, signs to look for that indicate your life is out of balance, strategies to regularly use that will reduce the risk of being overly stressed and not able to cope. We are going to explore too the signs of compassion fatigue and learn how to avoid burnout.

Of course, there no program that you can do, or faith that you can muster, that will “stress proof” or “burnout proof” your career or life – but learning the principles in the Webinar and putting in place healthy strategies will help you and normalising the issues most of us face will be a great support to you.

This 90 minute course is offered free and open to anyone who wants to learn how to manage stress, identify the signs of compassion fatigue and learn how to avoid burnout.
