The course is based on achieving behavioral change through cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT. Although the course is based on CBT, it should not be seen as individual or group therapy, but rather a course in becoming aware of your own behaviors and feelings. In the course, you will work with several themes linked to stress: short and long-term stress, sleep and recovery, anxiety and thoughts, strengthening your self-confidence and managing conflicts. 

You will learn to observe your own behavior and receive help for a possible change. The content consists of lecture-like short films, texts and relaxation exercises. You also have the opportunity to ask the course leader questions individually via chat between sessions. 

If necessary, the course can be supplemented with individual counseling on stress management. 

Participation in the course must be in agreement with your manager.
