Feeling stressed? Worried about change? It’s Kay Frances to the STRESS-cue!
In our frenzied world of probation, stress and change are a way of life. Change is often rapid and unexpected, so managing change becomes a vital part of anybody’s professional work life.

Kay’s session, “The Funny Thing about Stress“, will focus on:
- ✔️ Understand the meaning and causes of stress and how it impacts our lives
- ✔️ Learn how to cope with—and embrace—change as a welcome part of life
- ✔️ Implement stress management techniques going forward
- ✔️ Learn the effects of stress on health and learn healthy ways to cope with it
- ✔️ Develop specific strategies for preventing and managing stress and minimizing its effects on our well-being
