Feeling fatigued? Are you more impatient than normal? Are you finding it hard to balance working from or just being at home? You’re not alone.

This course will provide an overview of stress and its’ effects on us and others around us. Specific evidence-based techniques will be provided to improve resiliency within ourselves or our organizations.
