In 1998, stress was “The Epidemic of the ’90s”. Nothing much has changed. Many educators face tremendous challenges, unheard of even 20 years ago. Work overload, budget constraints and balancing work and home-life are among major concerns.Chronic stress is very expensive and disruptive. It directly increases rates of absenteeism, short term disability, depression and, as well as negatively affecting performance, it helps to worsen almost every other medical condition. And in students, rates of depression, anxiety and associated disorders, such as cutting, are rising.What people are saying:Resource Book/CD:“I had not encountered such a thorough, thoughtful, useful and helpful piece of work until I examined yours!
