Event Description
In an environment that is highly competitive and fast paced, current research indicates there is a mental health crisis brewing among PhD students and researchers. Stress and burnout may lead to overwhelming effects, unfortunately all too common as doctoral researchers strive to meet constant demands. This interactive 90-minute workshop will focus on understanding and managing stress and overwhelm. Areas focussed on will include:
- A Positive Psychology approach to well-being
- Recognising negative stress and its symptoms
- Unpacking what a balanced lifestyle looks like in order to control stress in the long term
- Suggestions and tools to manage stress, overwhelm and avoid burnout
- Developing a personal action plan for stress management
This workshop will help participants identify personal stress factors, reflect upon their own stress management strategies, and become more effective in handling everyday pressures in a sustainable way. Participants will leave with the tools to create a more balanced lifestyle, alongside developing their own stress management resources, in order to better manage their own mental health and well-being.
