Course Description: The spectrum of documented stress-related problems among workers is extensive, ranging from psychological symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and somatic complaints to substance abuse to physical health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, and obesity. These problems are costly to employers, employees and their families as well as to society at large. It is estimated that in the workplace, billions of dollars are lost each year in diminished productivity, high rates of absenteeism, and reduced performance resulting from these types of stress-related problems.

Coping With Work and Family Stress: A Workplace Preventive Intervention is a comprehensive group intervention specifically designed to prevent stress-related problems among workers. Through a combination of brief presentations, small and large group discussions, and experiential exercises, employees learn a broad array of coping strategies to address stressful situations at home, work, and on the interface between home and work. Sessions are grouped under six major components: The Stress Model and Multiple Roles, Problem Solving and Utilization of Social Support, Effective Communication, Cognitive Restructuring and Self-Monitoring, Approaches to Stress Management, and Developing an Individual Stress Management Plan.

Coping With Work and Family Stress has been rigorously researched and proven to be effective at decreasing depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, and substance abuse. It has also been evaluated by an independent body using stringent selection criteria, and as a result, was designated with Model Program status by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA); one of only five workplace Model Programs nationally. Coping With Work and Family Stress has been offered to both male and female employees from diverse ethnic backgrounds and occupational groups and in a wide range of private sector worksites including telecommunications, manufacturing, utilities, and service industries, as well as private, nonprofit organizations. Although originally developed for implementation within the workplace, the program also is adaptable for use with other populations and settings.

Cancellation Policy: If you are unable to attend a training for which you are registered, cancellations will be accepted for up to two weeks prior to the training and a refund, subject to a $30 processing fee, will be issued. After the cancellation deadline, no refunds will be granted. Two other options also are available to you. You either may defer your attendance to a future date within one year of the original registration date, or you may substitute another individual in your place at no extra charge. Either one of these options is available to you if you notify us prior to the first day of training.
