Stress Management Handouts

Have you ever designed stress management handouts at the last minute before a stress management seminar? We often design them without considering that a high quality stress management handout can make a successful stress management seminar even better.

Why Provide Stress Management Handouts?

So seminar attendees will remember your stress management seminar.
Display info visually, which meets the needs of visual learners.
So seminar attendees can concentrate on your seminar instead of writing down everything you say.
To give you something to refer back to when planning future stress management seminars.

Stress Management Handouts: When to Design Them?

Stress Management Handouts should be created at the same time that you’re planning your stress management seminar. This ensures that the facts you include will be tailored to that specific seminar.

It is a good idea to make copies of your stress management handouts ahead of time to avoid problems (like having the photo copier jam ten minutes before your stress management seminar begins.)

Stress Management Handouts: When to Distribute Them?

Recommendations differ greatly with respect to the best time to distribute stress management handouts. Some experts think it is best to distribute stress management handouts at the beginning or end of the stress management seminar, and experts prefer the point at which the info is most relevant.

Just remember that your seminar attendees will most likely look at stress management handouts right when they get them and will most likely miss no matter what you say in the next a few minutes.
