Are you struggling with STRESS? This presentation by clinical, medical and counseling experts Chairokey Blair, Alberto Briones, Kristen McFarland, Mitch Jones, and Robert Moreno is very insightful to the various aspects of stress. A four step process is given for reducing the stress that happens to students, employees, stay-at-home moms, and executives. Having trouble sleeping? Forgetting important dates and details? Perhaps several events in the last few months have been tougher on you than you think. This presentation explores the Amygdala Brain (the emotional brain cycle) with detailed images and pictures. The following subjects are explored in the presentation: PTSD, Tranquility, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, etc. You may have heard of the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) but never actually seen it - it is presented in these slides.

determine how at risk an individual may be for
potential health problems
A score of up to 150 means you have a 30%

A score between 150-299 increases it to 50%
A score of 300 or more puts you at 80% risk!
