# Introduction

This free course, The caring manager in health and social care, encourages you to think about how a leader or manager in the ‘caring professions’ can be, in short, more caring. It is made up of a series of four sections. The first section focuses on understanding stress and anxiety more generally. Then the second section, pressure, stress and you, invites you to examine how stress is impacting upon you on an individual level. The third section encourages you to explore the personal causes of stress, as these apply to you and also other people. Finally, the fourth section is focused on organisations, change and stress, as this applies to the health and social care sector.

This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University course K318 Leading, managing, caring.
