Model teaching clinics
There’s a dearth of people trained either to treat the emotional difficulties of job-stress and other slow-stresses and the associated physical symptoms. From our own work we are certain that the best way to care for people seriously and acutely affected by excess stress is to address both the emotional and the physical symptoms together in one short, intensive programme. Every day we hear about people who were coping last week who are no longer able to go to work. They are either too ill or too frightened; many have been victimised, sometimes with premeditation, by managers. Frequently we have to visit people at home, or find somewhere that they feel safe, as just being in public has become unbearable. Sadly, we hear of many more much later – when everyone else has run out of ideas about how to return the affected person to a meaningful life. These people often need expensive residential rehabilitation – misery and absence can so easily be avoided by early effective reporting and informed advice at work. We know that the build-up of excess stress is accumulative and can take place over quite a long period of time. The trauma crisis can come on without warning to the employer, the family or even to the person affected. That is why it is so important that everyone knows more about this illness. Not only are therapists who are trained to deal with the emotional aspects of excess stress in short supply, but clinicians in other fields – who could help with the symptoms of this illness – have no specialist facility in which to learn about stress – and how to work with three or four other clinicians to bring about a successful outcome. Dentists, doctors, osteopaths, sex therapists, sleep-disorder specialists all talk different languages – and this Institute is determined that they should act as one. To do this we need model teaching clinics. We plan to set up just two to begin with – one for England & Wales, one for Scotland. In these teaching clinics, people affected by stress will be able to visit without anyone outside knowing why they are entering the building. There a group of specialists will be able to orchestrate a programme of care in complete confidentiality.
