Stress Management for Parents and Family Support Workers
Stress is extremely common; Ireland recently ranked as the 6th most stressful country in Europe. If you’re a parent, you experience specific stressors and despite the rewards of parenting, it can also be challenging. However, managing stress improves your psychological wellbeing and reduces the risk of ‘parental burnout’ and impacts positively on your child’s wellbeing. Alternatively, do you work with families? Despite being a fulfilling role, sometimes the demands of the job are stressful.
