Personal stress management and wellbeing e-learning course is a self-help toolkit for individuals and organisations to help reduce stress and improve health

According to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures for 2001/2004, some 13.0 million working days for 560,000 people in the UK are lost to work related stress - making 'stress, anxiety and depression' the second most common cause of work related illness.

Accessible from a PC or company intranet, MyKnowledgeMap (MKM)'s 'It Can Happen To Anyone' personal stress management and wellbeing e-learning course is a self-help toolkit for individuals and organisations to help reduce stress, improve health and well being, and improve both personal and organisational performance.

Written by stress specialist Dr Rosemary Anderson, the course helps users understand, identify, and learn to reduce stress; find out how to adopt a healthier lifestyle and improve personal well-being; discover tips and techniques to feel more confident and achieve their potential.

The easy-to-use, content-rich course provides a wide range of e-learning topics, including in-depth analyses, helpful tips and suggestions and interactive activities including questionnaires and a quiz, creating a personalised, printable action plan for each user, together with certification of completion.

The course comprises two modules: 'Understanding Stress and Well-being' and 'Helping Yourself'.

It includes a basic course that can be completed in about two hours and an in-depth version, featuring research and anecdotal data for users with a greater interest in health and well being.

Each module can be purchased and studied as a stand alone programme by registering for content access (subscriptions are GBP25 each or GBP40 for both) at the MyKnowledgeMap web site.

Multiple use discounts are provided for 'It Can Happen To Anyone' which is also available for installation on organisation intranets using an MKM supplied learning environment or its user's learning management system.
