Stress Management for Technical Communicators
About the Event
Join us to hear how we can control stress at work. Dr. Rifken will discuss how office ergonomics and stress in the work environment can have detrimental affects on our well being and what we can do about it. A recent survey done by the University of Maryland showed that over 50% of Americans experience high levels of stress every day. In fact, one of the most widely prescribed classes of drugs in this country is antidepressants. Early symptoms of stress include digestive disturbances, headaches, fatigue, muscle tension, insomnia, neck pain and back pain. In its later stages, stress can cause degenerative diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, strokes and cancer. The purpose of our workshop is to teach participants how to manage and reduce stress in their lives. The talk includes a slide presentation, handouts, time management strategies, relaxation techniques and time for questions and answers.
Don't forget your business cards! We collect a business card from each attendee for a drawing to be held in March. The prize is the cost of the registration fee for the Annual conference will be paid for by the Chapter.
