Tools & Training That Work!
The StressWinner Difference
‘Stress’ is a major problem for Elder Care staff, management and trainees.
It’s too easy to say, “Other organizations may have the problem, but not us!”
Sadly, that just isn’t true. Stress is everywhere.
Working with the elderly can be very stressful jobs but not necessarily for the reasons
most people think. The Stress of Personal Support Work gives the reader
an outline of ways to cope with stress and pressure and even thrive on it. Even
under the worst stresses it is possible to take charge of your mood and your happiness.
To the organization the cost of stress is HUGE!:
Average $2,100 per employee per year;
Rising every year
Devastating impact on families.
There are many stress tools and training available but most are expensive, and up to now have been
available only to large firms, institutions and government.

including:
