Facing into a new
school year with all of its associated challenges can be a time of stress and
anxiety for staff, regardless of age or experience. Learning how to cultivate a
sense of inner calm is vital in helping ourselves to feel more confident and
empowered for the year ahead. This webinar will outline some helpful ways for school
staff to manage stress, as well as offering several strategies and techniques
for calming the nervous system.
We will also look at ways to nurture our
well-being. Many of these techniques can also be used with students.
