associated challenges can be a time of stress and anxiety for staff, regardless
of age or experience. Learning how to cultivate a sense of inner calm is vital
in helping ourselves to feel more confident and empowered for the year ahead.
This webinar will outline some helpful ways for school staff to manage stress,
as well as offering several strategies and techniques for calming the nervous
system. We will also look at ways to nurture our well-being. Many of these
techniques can also be used with students.
