STRESS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
Malahide Lions Club was delighted in the past to help support the 6 week lecture sessions on Stress Control, delivered by Dr Mark Harrold and Dr Alison Rooney. Considering the stresses that abound today due to Covid-19 issues, we intend to endeavour to resurrect this valuable course in the near future when conditions allow.

The course
'Stress Control' was a six session evening class. Each session lasted for approx 90 minutes starting at 20:30 - 8.30pm. 'Stress Control' was devised by Jim White, a clinical psychologist in Glasgow, to help a large number of people who complained of stress and who were keen to learn how to tackle their problems themselves. Stress can be a mix of anxiety and depression often associated with sleep problems, panic attacks, drink issues and anger. This course showed you how to control and manage stress.
Attendance
Each session dealt with a separate aspect of stress but, as they all link together, it is crucial to attend all six sessions. Each step is one piece of the jigsaw. Only by putting all the steps together do you get the full picture.
A fighting spirit
This course is for people who are prepared to work hard. If you are looking for the miracle cure, you will be wasting your time - it doesn't exist. 'Stress Control' will show you how to go about tackling stress but, at the end of the day, it will take a lot of hard work on your part. It will be well worth it in the end. So let us confront and address this demon called stress and learn to manage our lives more effectively and to take better control. Stress is a common problem that effects every one of us in different ways and to different degrees. Let us tackle and solve this problem. We can and will overcome.
