Stress Management Therapy Group

Are you finding stress is taking over your life? Not coping with the pressures of study, home life, friendships and/or work? Or finding that the stress of the future is overwhelming?

Stress is a normal part of life, but if you are finding it has become overwhelming or unmanageable, then it may be time to seek out some support.

Anastasi Psychology is running a Stress Management Therapy Group for 2 age groups: adolescents aged 15-17 and Young Adults aged 18-21. Participants in the group will learn about the following:

• Understanding stress and how it affects us (including introductions to Procrastination and Perfectionism)
• Developing some coping strategies to assist with stress
• Understanding the types of stress in our lives
• Managing external stressors, such as family, friends and your future
• Developing a stress management plan.
