Stress Strategies is designed for information, self-help and skill development purpose. Individuals dealing with acute levels of ongoing stress are advised to seek help from a mental health or medical professional.

Background

Stress Strategies was developed by Psychology Foundation of Canada, with support from Pfizer Canada and an expert panel of some of the leading psychologists and experts in Canada including Dr. Louise Hartley, Dr. Nasreen Khatri, Dr. Steven Stein, Dr. Robin Alter, Dr. Liane Davey, Dr. Ruth, Berman, Dr. Cheryl Pohlman, Dr. Janette Pelletier and Claire McDerment. In 2012, Psychology Foundation of Canada launched a landmark program, Stress Lessons for Kids, designed to help children and youth develop successful coping and management strategies for stress. When parents and teachers began reporting they too were benefitting from the program but would appreciate a tool specifically designed for them, it became clear that a tool for adults was in need.

The Great - West Life Assurance Company joined us in 2015 to support the program.

Thank you to our program sponsors !
