Coping With Stress: A Workshop Framework

The work of the Open University's Coping With Crisis Research and Training Group¹ in running workshops on the theme of coping with stress² is described. A theoretical model of stress and coping is offered, and the structure within which the workshops take place is outlined. The framework described has developed over a period of four years, and is an account not of a finished product but of a continually evolving series of practices.
