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. Many of our normal and automatic means of coping are inadequate for this increased demand. We need to be more deliberate in our efforts to reset the stress response ourselves. The following toolkit gives specific instruction to support individuals to interrupt the stress response and reset their brains and bodies.

Everyone has stress. Some people have a lot of stress. The size of the stress is not the concern. The concern is with a lack of recovery from stress episodes. Just a persistent worry, for example, can activate a stress response, and that can come way before the stressor even occurs. The most important thing, then, is to focus on how often and how quickly we can recover from a stress response. That’s what resilience is all about, getting the body to reset itself after a stress response and helping it stay longer in a settled state.

This form helps you to evaluate your team’s effectiveness and level of community. The rating scales include frequency of occurrence of team behaviors and attitudes within a classroom program. This is not a form to rate individual team members, but to view and assess the team as a whole.

Parents and teachers find it difficult to forge a positive relationship with these children, it is exhausting to deal with the constant power struggles and it is easy to get locked into negative exchanges that escalate into serious conflict. The matter is further complicated when parental or teacher authority is challenged in front of other children. Often, what starts as a refusal to cooperate, ends with raised voices and verbal threats from both sides (“You will do this, or else . . .”).
