Stress Control group




STRESS CONTROL:

Say YES to Less Stress

Stress Control is a FREE class that runs over six weeks.  If you want to learn better ways to handle common problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, poor sleep and panic attacks then Stress Control is the course for you.

Stress Control is a class – not group therapy – so you do not have to talk about your problems in front of others.  You just sit back and learn some great ways to manage stress.  This approach was devised by Dr. Jim White – a Clinical Psychologist in Glasgow – and is now used across the world. Stress Control will be run by Dr Veronica Byrne, Clinical Psychologist and Emma Hoctor, Assistant Psychologist with the HSE North Cork Primary Care Psychology Service this April to May 2019.

People who attended Stress Control groups in Cork have said:

  “It reminded me that life can be stressful, I am not alone and help is there...it’s nothing to be ashamed of ”

  “Some of the symptoms I have experienced, I didn’t realise were stress related”

What happens in each of the sessions?

  • Session 1: Information about stress
  • Session 2: Manage your body: relaxation, exercise
  • Session 3: Manage your thoughts: learn to think your way out of stress
  • Session 4: Manage your actions: boost self-confidence
  • Session 5: Manage your panic
  • Session 6: Manage your sleep problems; control your future

As part of the Stress Control classes you will receive booklets with tips to identify and tackle stress, as well as a FREE relaxation CD. It is advised that you attend all of the 6 sessions if possible.

The course will run on the ground-floor of the Mallow Primary Healthcare Centre, Gouldshill, Mallow Business Park, Mallow. It will take place every Wednesday for six weeks from 11am until 12.30pm. The course will start on Wednesday the 3rd of April and run through to Wednesday the 8th of May.
