STRESS LEVEL GUIDANCE

• Stress Level = Stressful Event + Perception of Event. Beyond a stress event intensity, CCs should consider frequency (i.e., is the stressor reoccurring or just a one time event) and duration (i.e., how long does the stressor last).

• - “Severe” Stress Level results in a higher stress event being perceived with a sense of hopelessness, rejection, isolation, unable to focus and/or a feeling that nobody cares. Some outward signs may be crying or experiencing panic when dwelling on the event.

• - “Moderate” Stress Level can be low stress events over longer duration or increased frequency over time that are negatively perceived. They can also be higher stress events where one’s perception does not bring about a sense of hopelessness, rejection, isolation or feeling that nobody cares.

• - “Low” Stress Level is normal day-to-day stress with normal perceptions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alaskan_Air_Command.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:673d_Air_Base_Wing.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:4th_BCT_(ABN)_25th_ID_SSI.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:National_Guard.gif

COPING SKILLS LEVEL GUIDANCE

• Coping Skills – a person’s ability to deal with the stress level in their life. Areas to consider are problem solving skills and communication and expressive skills

• “High” Coping Skills*:

1) Committed time/energy thinking about the stressful event(s) beforehand;

2) Accepted stressor as part of life

3) Looked for warning signs and seek help (talk to people)

4) Researched info about support services

5) Engaged in self-care (exercise and rest, eat well, get plenty of rest)

6) Don’t overuse alcohol to numb pain

• “Medium” Coping Skills have often sought assistance or have began to accept the stressor as a part of life and are in the process of strengthening their ability to deal with the stress level. There may be some areas they still struggle with but they are on their way to higher coping ability.

• “Low” Coping Skills:

1) Have hard time accepting stressor as part of life

2) Usually not aware of support services available or refuse to seek assistance (perception)

3) May have sought help but having hard time incorporating assistance

4) Overuse alcohol to numb pain

5) Tend not to engage in self-care
