A target benefit of Asista Parent / Carer Training and Support is to create capacity resulting in improved stress management. Asista Parent / Carer Training and Support helps:
~ Lower activation of the stress systems, with a focus on Parent / Carers, that cause 75%-90% of human disease per Inflammation: The Common Pathway of Stress-Related Diseases - PMC.
~ Shrink the impact of long-term or chronic stress resulting from caring for a person with a disability. Impacts across body systems are well documented, for example Stress effects on the body.
~ Avoid excessive stress over extended time periods resulting in too much cortisol in the blood and negative impacts on the immune system and many conditions that come from caring for a person with a disability (Stress Sickness: Stress and Your Immune System).
~ Identify changes that Parents / Carers can make to their everyday actions for better health and reducing inflammation by providing flexible and person-centred guidance for addressing NDIS rules. Parent / Carer wellbeing activities are discussed at every session to facilitate better self-care Everyday actions for better health – WHO recommendations.
~ Support changes to habits and ways of thinking, with a focus on Parent / Carers, using person centric approaches aligning with steps for Changing Your Habits for Better Health - NIDDK.
Should the cascade effect of supporting Parents / Carers not be apparent, Ripple Effects Mapping may be undertaken to formally validate health and behaviour change (Using Ripple Effects Mapping to Evaluate a Community-Based Health Program: Perspectives of Program Implementers - PubMed).
Stress helps us! However, it can also impair us. Getting the right balance to be in our optimal state is key. Asista can help you understand and maintain your optimal state.
