A training manual to help maintain emotional well-being using simple and effective techniques. Each module is standalone but can be run as a series. This versatile manual aims to teach a range of techniques and exercises that can be used by anyone, from children who have experienced trauma or unstable home lives to the parents struggling to care for them, and from members of the emergency services to any workers at risk of experiencing secondary post-traumatic stress disorder. Each chapter provides background information to enable the trainer to enhance participants' understanding of the nature of stress and how these techniques can help, along with a range of exercises that can be used at any time to induce relaxation and avoid the consequences, both physiological and psychological, of chronic stress.
