Stress Take Charge

Stress Take Charge is a self-directed approach to stress management through self-awareness, behaviour change and skill building. It will support participants in their identification of the strategies that they already use and those that they will begin to implement in order to optimize their stress hardiness.

Stress management is a daily balancing act that has an impact on physical and mental well being.

The Stress Take Charge program consists of six modules.  These modules will help them understand the stress reaction in the military context and its links to hardiness.  In addition, participants will receive workbooks and be asked to complete exercises where they will assess their own level of stress and be able to choose and practice specific skills that can be used to increase performance and decrease stress.  Relaxation techniques will also be instructed and employed. 

Stress Take Charge can be delivered over six weeks, three weeks or two days.
