Understanding Stress (Level 1)
Explore the Key Aspects of Stress Management with this AQA Level One Unit Award in Understanding Stress
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but how we manage it can make a significant difference to our overall well-being. The AQA Level One Unit Award in Understanding Stress provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to better understand the complexities of stress.
Students will explore what stress is, including the three different types of stress, and learn about five common causes that contribute to stress in daily life.
The unit also identifies key risk factors that make some individuals more prone to stress, as well as an in-depth look at Type A and Type B personality traits and their relationship with stress.
Learners will discover both healthy and unhealthy ways of managing stress, with a focus on four key strategies for each approach.
By understanding the social, emotional, health, and behavioural effects of stress, students will gain insights into how stress impacts various aspects of life.
Ultimately, learners will be empowered to identify their own personal stressors and develop practical strategies for managing them, ensuring they can navigate stress in a healthier, more effective way.
