Coping with Work and Family Stress
Coping With Work and Family Stress is a workplace prevention intervention designed to teach employees (18 years and older) how to deal with stressors at work and at home. The model is derived from Pearlin and Schoolsers hierarchy of coping mechanisms and Bandura's social learning theory. The curriculum emphasizes the role of stress, coping, and social support in relation to substance use and mental health.
