Loss of a job and job hunting are rated among the highest stressors people experience. Success Associates Stress Resiliency Program will help you successfully manage your stress with a personalized assessment of your stressors, the development of a Stress Resiliency Plan suited to your needs, plus personal coaching to help you carry through on this commitment to lifelong wellness. Once this plan is put into place your ability to move forward in your career dramatically increases.

The Stress Resiliency Program teams you with a licensed stress professional in a three-session program. Additional sessions areavailable as needed or requested:

Session One: We begin by measuring your existing level of stress, and identify the principle stressors in your life. These stressors are your points of vulnerability, where you need to become stress resilient. To make the best use of your time each participant will be given stress assessment measures and lifestyle surveys to prepare at home in advance of your first meeting. Special readings will also be given to provide an understanding of stress’s negative potential and its various signs and symptoms.

In Session 2 and 3: your Licensed coach will develop with you a Stress Resiliency Plan that addresses your special points of vulnerability and helps you create a new path to sustained wellness. You will be personally trained in this session and the next, in at least four methods of stress management. Your plan may include activities that impact your physical well-being, your emotional state, your attitudinal (cognitive) state, and altering self-defeating behavioral patterns. Stress management exercises, audiotapes, exercise plans and even nutritional guidance will be provided to guide you between sessions and after the completion of your training.

Your individual stress resiliency training will include such options as training in:

• meditation
• cognitive work & affirmations
• visualization
• traditional stress management techniques such as progressive relaxation
• exercise planning
• assertiveness training
• nutrition
• journaling
• lifestyle change recommendations
• engaging with support groups, volunteering, etc.

Many people try to manage stress on their own but fail to analyze where they are most stress vulnerable. Without this knowledge their efforts often fail to manage their stress. Discouragement then sets in and they quit trying or ask for &dquo;anti-anxiety&dquo; medications that mask but don’t resolve the underlying stress issues. Success Associates’ Stress Resiliency Program uncovers where you need to work, provides the techniques and training to help you become stress resilient and creates an action plan for you to follow through a lifetime. In addition, our licensed professionals are attuned to the challenges of the unemployed. We believe the best method of stress management is to be proactive: to straightforwardly tackle the serious issues posed by stress before you become burned-out and depressed. Stress is called the &dquo;silent killer&dquo; for good reasons. It slowly undermines your health, your mental well-being, your ability to perform and your social relationships. The good news is that the negative affects of stress are reversible! You can attain a new level of vitality and health through our professionally planned Stress Resiliency Program.
