]]> Re-thinking Stress- A Parent Support Evening April 19th https://educate.shineireland.com/course/re-thinking-stress-a-parent-support-programme-sept-27th/ Wed, 14 Sep 2022 13:44:17 +0000 https://shineireland.com/educate/?post_type=product&p=4646 Re-thinking Stress:

Dealing with the challenges of everyday life can be stressful for many parents. A lot of the stress we experience is driven by our thoughts and beliefs, because the way we think directly affects the way we feel. As a result, compromised coping, low mood, exhaustion and irritability can all be factors of dealing with ongoing stress. This is an opportunity for parents to focus on their own needs for a couple of hours and to re-think how you deal with stress and look at ways that you can better manage your stress levels and increase your sense of wellbeing.

 

The Re-thinking stress evening will cover:

    • What is stress?
    • How you respond to stress now?
    • Why beliefs and coping styles matter.
    • Acceptance and the process of change.
    • Thinking and responding differently to stressful situations..
    • Building resilience.

    A really important part of these sessions will be listening to parents by creating a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where they can talk openly about their lived experiences.

    Format:            One evening from 7.30pm to 9pm

    Duration:         1.5 hours.

    Venue:              The Shine Centre, Carrigaline, Co Cork

    Dates:               Wednesday 19th April, 2023

    Time:                7.30pm

    Cost:                  €20 per place.
