(included in Half-Day and Full Day sessions)
- The Stress Process Model: This model explains how stress occurs and how it can be managed. It can be leveraged within work settings by identifying the sources of stress and implementing strategies to reduce or eliminate them.
- The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping: This model suggests that stress is the result of a person’s appraisal of a situation as well as their coping resources and strategies. It can be leveraged within work settings by providing support and resources to help working parents cope with stress.
- The Demand-Control-Support Model: This model suggests that the combination of high demands, low control, and low social support can lead to stress. It can be leveraged within work settings by reducing demands, increasing control, and providing social support to working parents.
At the end of this session, participants will have a better understanding of the causes of stress for working parents and will be equipped with strategies and resources to manage and reduce stress. Participants will be able to identify and address sources of stress in their own lives and will be prepared to implement stress-management strategies to improve their overall well-being.
