ZuluManaging Work and Life Stress
Modern life can be stressful; stress at work can affect your personal life, and home or family issues can affect your work.
When stresses build up it can feel overwhelming and simple tasks can become difficult to manage. Moods can be on a rollercoaster – feeling anxious, frustrated, irritable, angry, or depressed. Sleep and energy levels can suffer too, making most days difficult to manage.
However, there are some straightforward ways you can learn quickly to get on top of these stresses and get some peace, normality and that ‘zing’ for life back again.
This great four-hour course will help you to understand why you are stressed or finding life tough going, and help you to build a useful tool box of effective techniques to make the changes you want.
Minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 participants.

These workshops will give you the skills and confidence to intervene if you think someone is feeling suicidal.
Suicide is the leading cause of death in men and women aged under 45 in England. Suicide is a preventable death. Suicide is indiscriminate and can touch any of us.
Our Suicide Awareness Hub is here to offer training, support and education on what we can do. Suicide is a societal issue and therefore as a society we need to know how to respond and where to get help.
So what do we do?
The Hub will give you the skills and confidence to be an informed friend for someone who is at risk of ending a short term problem with a long term solution.
We have a FREE workshop consisting of two 2 hour sessions (virtually for now). These cover:
About suicidal feelings
Risk factors
Why suicide
Myths
How to help
