Stress-coping strategies workshop

What will you learn? There are significant differences among people in the ways they cope with stress, and thus there is no uniform solution. We will teach you to estimate your own current capacity for handling stressful situations. Next, we will focus on strategies that most people spontaneously use when under stress - for example, using reason as a coping mechanism, distracting your attention or sharing with other people. We will talk about when and why to engage these strategies purposefully, so that they do not get out of control and, for example, the distraction does not turn into chronic procrastination.

Is it too much for you at school or in life right now and you don't know what to do? During the lecture, we will introduce you to the Dostuduj.fit service, operating free of charge, which guides students from the age of 15 upwards through challenging situations at school and home as well. This service is provided by the non-profit organization Fokus Praha, z.ú.
