I've set up two free events in Southampton, one on resilience the other on stress management competences. These are on Thurs 11th April at the Eastpoint Centre.

The links are below:

• Resilience event
• Stress Management Competencies event

It's taken me absolutely ages to get events set up there after having to cancel a previous event (despite being fully booked)  last year because of venue problems. A big thank you to Claire Mattinson of Southampton NHS and to Kerri Chalk of the Eastpoint Centre for their help in getting these events organised!

I've organized 2 events in Hartlepool, Teesside, one on Resilience, the other on Managing Stress Risks at Work.

Both events take place at Hartlepool College on Thursday 8th Nov. My thanks to Hartlepool Borough Council and particularly to Steven Carter for all his help in getting these events set up. Thanks also to Hartlepool College for hosting the events.

The Reslience Roadshow looks at psychological research into resilience and introduces tools found to be effective for individuals and organisations, particularly from the field of positive psychology.

The Managing Stress Risks at Work event discusses the assessment and management of stress risks at work. We look at a range of frameworks and tools including HSE’s Management Standards and alternative (equivalent) approaches. Organisational, team and individual tools are all discussed. We explore ways that organisations can meet their legal obligations while minimising costs. We also clarify the links between the Management Standards and new development interventions such as the Stress Management Competencies.

Hope you can make one or both of these events!

I've organized 2 events in Tyneside, one on Resilience, the other on Managing Stress Risks at Work.

Both events take place at South Tyneside College on Tuesday 30th Oct. My thanks to the College and particularly to Kathryn Wann for her help in getting these events set up.

I've just published an event in Colchester, Essex. It's a free, Roadshow event on the Stress Management Competencies and takes place on the 17th October at Colchester Town Hall between 1.30 and 4.30 pm.

This Stress Management Competencies Roadshow is hosted by Colchester Borough Council. My sincere thanks to Louise Denyer at the Council for all her help in getting this organized.

Stress Management Competencies are combinations of skills and behaviours that line managers need to prevent and reduce stress at work. A four-year research programme sponsored by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), CIPD and Investors in People (IIP) led recently to the development of a Management Competency Framework for Preventing and Reducing Stress.

The Roadshow raises awareness of this Framework and introduces the associated tools and interventions for up-skilling of line managers.

Hope to see you there!

Very busy getting roadshows organised for this October through to June 13. Coming together now. As events are published they can be found on my (Alan Bradshaw's) eventbrite page.

I'm setting up roadshows all over the UK. There'll definitely be events in the Midlands, North West, North East, Yorkshire, London, South East and Scotland. Hopefully also in the South West (Bristol) and South (Southampton / Portsmouth area). I've increased the list of topics I'm covering in Roadshow events to include:

• Managing Stress Risks at Work (incl. HSE Management Standards)
• Stress / Wellbeing Policies (Development and Implementation)
• Resilience (Individual and Organisational)
• Managing Risks to Wellbeing in an Ageing Workforce
• Stress Management Competencies

I expect between 50 and 100 delegates at each event, max 2 per organisation, apart from event hosts (where I agree a larger allocation). For some locations, there will be 2 events on one day and I may run a number of events in any one region.

Hope you can make one or more of the events! If you'd like to host or sponsor an event, please contact me directly.
