Health and Stress Management for Paraprofessionals |
1.00 |
Every day, paraprofessionals dedicate themselves to caring for and nurturing students and families. Often, paraprofessionals are so dedicated to serving others, they neglect their own needs. When this happens, paraprofessionals can experience stress that causes them to become overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, dissatisfied with job responsibilities, and unappreciated. When they maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle, paraprofessionals are in a much better position to face the challenges of supporting and nurturing children and families with positive energy, enthusiasm, patience, and empathy.
By developing self-awareness, linking their personal and professional goals, developing a healthy balanced lifestyle, and identifying and managing stressors effectively, they can create and maintain a positive sense of well-being that allows them to maximize their ability to build positive relationships with students, parents, colleagues, and others. |
