Stress Strategies Tool

40% of Canadians say their stress level is worse that it was last year.[1] If stress is impacting you negatively, you might want to find more effective ways for managing with stress. Stress Strategies was created to help you do that.

If you're living with stress, you're not alone. Stress is a normal part of everyday life. A certain level of stress can be healthy and keep us engaged and productive. However, when stress isn't managed well, it builds up, and it can negatively affect us both physically and mentally.

The Psychology Foundation of Canada, with support from Pfizer Canada, has developed Stress Strategies—a free, mobile-friendly online coaching tool—to help Canadians acquire the necessary skills to manage life's stress better. Stress Strategies is completely confidential. It is available in both English and French.

Stress Strategies:

• shares stories of how real people use these specific strategies to manage their stress

• presents questions to help you identify key areas of stress in your life and the stress management strategies that make the most sense for you

• outlines clear, practical tips and actions you can take to help you manage stress more effectively

Once complete, you can download or print a personalized stress management plan tailored to you.
