Stress Busters

For the several years I have been doing inexpensive things to help our staff reduce stress through such activities as greeting with mini gifts of appreciation and recognition, using humor intensives in intense times, ( when we were preparing to move out of our building for a year.... I brought in a talking tree that had all the staff laughing as it described the stresses of being a tree) and teaching simple accupressure and relaxation techniques. Not only does this work with staff, but students are very appreciative too.

When stress is reduced you find an overall healthier staff who can communicate their concerns and work together as problem solvers.

I am able to help other schools set up a "stress busters" program or visit faculty and share relaxation techniques that can be done anywhere and anytime (okay, some cannot be done while driving!)
