NCFR Webinars Managing and Understanding Stress in Your Work
NCFR's next two webinars share a common theme: STRESS! We all encounter stress in our work and family lives. For those who work with
families in their career, it is especially important to learn how you can first manage your own stress, before helping others.
In the first webinar, Amber Allen, CFLE, will help us identify stressors within the workplace, explore strategies to enhance focus and productivity, and provide tools to manage both short-term and chronic stress. Learn more & register.
Approved for 1.0 hour of CFLE continuing education.
The focus of the second webinar is how to help families when they are stressed or in crisis. Scott S. Hall, Ph.D., CFLE, will cover key concepts from family stress theory for professionals to use with families across any practice setting. Learn more & register.
Approved for 1.0 hour of CFLE continuing education.
Both webinars are recommended for family practitioners—whether you are in community education, social services, therapy, Extension, or any other setting in which you work with families.
