Carers lives can be busy and complex in a way that "normal" life isn't. This can often lead to feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope and this stress can make carers feel ill - physically, emotionally and mentally. Stress is a very common problem but you don't need to be stuck with it. Learning to deal with stress can make a huge positive difference. Step on Stress classes aim to help you manage your stress. There are simple things that we can learn to do that can really help and the short course provides practical tools and techniques that you can use in everyday life.
Step on Stress is a free stress management course for adults running in various locations across Fife. The course runs for three weekly sessions of 1 ~ hours each. The courses are straightforward. During the class you will learn
learn how to manage the effect of stress on your body and the effect on your mind. You will be given a relaxation CD and information to take away and read at your own pace.
You will not have to speak during the class. It is not a therapy session - all seats face the front. You can also bring someone along with you for support.
Step on Stress is available in Dunfermline, St Andrews, Kirkcaldy, Lochgelly and Glenrothes. Each course runs for three weeks, it's. free and any adult can book a place to attend.
