The Pandemic Stress Management Toolkit for caregivers, educators and healthcare providers.
Stress during this pandemic is like no other stress we’ve experienced before, which is why large numbers of educators and service providers are breaking down and experiencing uncontrolled stress responses.

The following toolkit gives specific instruction to support individuals to interrupt the stress response and reset their brains and bodies.
