A new interactive eLearning course, entitled 鈥楲iving With Stress and Preventing Burnout鈥 is now available for 无码专区 staff. This initiative was developed and piloted with university colleagues within the School of Education, led by two experienced clinical psychologists, Dr Steve Noone and Dr Elizabeth Burnside and an education researcher, Dr Amy Hulson-Jones. Its development has been supported by the 鈥淏etter Mental Health鈥 funding which the University receives from Medr/HEFCW.
