WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG EVERY DAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE
Day-to-day work in the healthcare field requires not only professional knowledge but also a great deal of focus, responsibility, and emotional and physical effort. Therefore, the ability to recognize stress, understand one’s own reactions, and draw on one’s inner resources is an important part of not only employee well-being but also the quality of work.
The Kėdainiai Primary Health Care Center (PSPC), a public institution, is hosting training sessions organized as part of the project “Strengthening the Mental Health of Health Care Workers,” funded by the Kėdainiai District Municipality.
The training places a strong emphasis on practical stress management—employees gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of stress, analyze stressful situations, look for ways to build resilience, and learn relaxation techniques that can be applied quickly.
Another important area is energy management. This involves different types of energy—what drains us and what helps us recharge—as well as conserving mental energy, biological rhythms, managing attention, and procrastination.
The training also addresses teamwork and organizational aspects—such as how daily work habits, mutual agreements, and leadership practices can contribute to reduced stress and a more supportive work environment. One of the topics covered is situational leadership and its importance in stress management, which helps participants understand how a properly chosen leadership style can address the different situations and needs of employees.
It is important that the training is not purely theoretical. Participants engage in practical exercises, analyze their own experiences, and seek solutions they can apply in their daily activities. We cannot always avoid stress. However, we can learn to better understand and manage it, and take steps to maintain our energy and resilience.
The training is led by Eglė Danilevičiūtė, an educational partner at UAB “GRAND PARTNERS.”
