The most effective stress management and high performance programs develop strong skills through a training program which goes beyond a single lecture or presentation.
The Stress Management and High Performance Clinic offers Guelph and area businesses, athletic teams, schools, and special interest groups the opportunity to provide on-site at their location the same, cost effective skills training programs which we have offered so successfully to the community at the University of Guelph campus.
The on-site program could be organized with the same formats as the
on-campus Relaxation and Stress Management
Skills Training sessions, Better Sleep
sessions, Managing Headaches sessions, examSMART (managing exam anxiety), and preventing repetitive strain at computer tasks
sessions.
Or the on-site program could be a specially tailored program to best
meet the needs and schedule of the group members.
For example, the 12 session Relaxation and Stress Management Skills
Training program may be modified to an 8 session (1 hour each session)
program or modified to a 6 session (1 1/2 hour each session) program
with topics selected from the 12 session program. Other topics of
special interest to the group may be included in the modified program,
and other program formats are also possible.
On-site multi-session programs have been provided for such businesses and organizations as Halton District School Board, HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre, Agriculture Canada, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the Co-Operators, Communication and Power Industries, Cambridge Memorial Hospital, and Crompton Inc.
The number of participants, program content, number of session
hours, and travel expenses determine the cost of on-site programs.
I would be pleased to discuss with you the possibilities of skills
training within your workplace, athletic facility, school, or special
interest group meeting place.

ON-SITE PRIVATE PROGRAMS
Private sessions for individuals can be provided on-site at your
location. This may include training in any of the techniques
outlined above, or may involve private biofeedback
training. With or without biofeedback, private training sessions
allow a program to be tailored specifically to the individual and
enhances their effectiveness in coping with daily hassles and pressure
to perform.
ON-SITE DEMONSTRATIONS
Biofeedback Demonstration
We can
arrange to provide private biofeedback demonstrations to a number of
individuals at your location. This is an excellent way to begin
increasing self-awareness and changing tension levels and stress
responses at work-related activities.
A
15-20 minute personal SEMG biofeedback demonstration shows shoulder
muscle tension levels at rest and how they change while working at a
computer keyboard or performing brief work simulations. The
biofeedback monitor shows instantaneously how much tension is currently
held and if higher than recommended levels are
found, the biofeedback may help determine an individual's best
approaches to releasing neck and shoulder tension during tasks. Continued practice
of the effective strategies will prevent the build-up of strain
and fatigue created by poor breathing patterns, body position and
muscle habits at rest and at work.
A
morning and/or afternoon of 15-20 minute (or longer if desired)
individual appointments could be booked in advance with interested
participants at their workplace. To set up a biofeedback
demonstration contact Kathy Somers at the Stress Management and High
Performance Clinic at 519 824-4120, ext. 52662.
