Today is International Stress Awareness Day.
The event has been organised by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA): a registered charity whose aim is to advance the education of the public in the field of biological stress.
On their website, the ISMA say: "Stress can be an insidious build up of many pressures and challenges. Most people are now aware that the big issues in life can be exciting for some and too demanding for others, resulting in stress."
Working in a college or university can be very demanding. Many factors may influence the levels of tension in your working life, for example workload or job security. We know from being in contact with thousands of post-school education professionals every year just how stressful their lives can be.
