This session provides information about what depression and anxiety are, what to do and where to go if you are concerned about yourself or others. Stress tolerance The way we manage the demands in our lives can leave us either energised or drained. This session looks at the role of stress in our lives, how to recognise it, manage it and develop positive coping strategies to maintain a high level of resilience to the pressures of everyday life. The pillars of resilience If our lifestyle creates pressures with which our body and brain cannot cope, we can experience significant health problems. The challenge is to optimise our brain and body to cope with the environmental demands of both success and failure, so that you can maintain an enduring sense of wellness. This session will focus on strategies that support the four pillars; the Physical, Social, Emotional and Cognitive domains. Optum Springboards 4
