Tamari- Stress is our internal response to a situation we find hard to manage. Two techniques for managing stress includes being aware of potential stressors and taking a break or time out from activities. Support groups are important because they provide opportunity for people to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies or firsthand information about stressors. They also help an individual by reducing distress, depression, anxiety and fatigue and allows for gain of empowerment, control and hope to cope with stressful situations they might be faced with. Sharing workload relieves stress by allowing for individuals to achieve a common goal. With shared workload they can share their concerns, ideas and insights with other staff. When there is a shared workspace it takes the pressure off individuals and reduces their stress level.
