Providing care and services to the public can be demanding and stressful. Work-related stress can affect your well-being, the care and services you give to others while doing your job, and the well-being of the people you care about outside of work.

It is critical for managers and supervisors to recognize what stress looks like, and to change organizational policies and practices to reduce job-related stress. It is also helpful for managers and workers alike to learn how to cope with stress and know where to go for help.
