So you want to be a certified stress management professional? Wouldn't it be great to have a job where you teach
people how to take it easy and get the most out of life? In a sense of speaking, being a certified stress management
professional the most beneficial job on earth, where you get to turn nasty problems into bright ideas. Well, there's
great news for all of us - it's not as hard to get a stress management certification as you might think.
The profession of stress management is well-covered and well-documented in the United States. The American
Academy of Stress Management Consultancy and Therapy offers a certification program for all aspiring stress managers.
Basically, anyone who'd like to gain a stress management certification needs to have completed an official, established
stress management educational program, as well as a number of seminars and training programs. Individuals who get the
Academy's nod earn the right to affix the title SMC-C in front of their names. These initials mean Certified Stress
Management Consultant - and yep, that makes you a professional. The qualification doesn't last forever, though - the
Academy requires a re-certification every three years, just to make sure you're keeping yourself up-to-date with the
latest developments and practices in stress management.
In addition to the Academy, the American Institute of Health Care Professionals (AIHCP) also recognizes stress management
as a profession. The AIHCP actively pursues research in the field of stress management and regularly holds a variety of
fellowship programs. These fellowship programs include, besides Stress Management; Grief Counseling, Legal Nurse
Consulting, Spiritual Counseling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Meditation Instruction. Many of these fellowship programs
offer certifications for these fields that may allow certified stress management professionals to expand their areas of
expertise - or at the very least, allow them to become more effective at their science.
Many universities and medical schools in the U.S. also offer Diplomas in Stress Management. Stress management certification
courses cover varying specialties, such as stress management training and organizational stress management. Stress
management is a very broad topic, and there are as many audience types as there are occupation types. Many aspiring
stress management professionals choose to narrow their specialty down to a specific audience in order to keep from
spreading themselves too thin and letting their professions suffer.
The United Kingdom also has well-structured professional organizations for stress management. The National Council of
Psychotherapists has the charge of accrediting schools and professional organizations that offer stress management diploma
courses. As it is in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world, the course choices are as varied as the possible audiences and
areas of expertise out there. Each course focuses on a specific area in stress management, so it's important to know
exactly what audience you intend to address as a certified stress management professional.
The Stress Managers of the United Kingdom is a professional organization tasked with providing training courses for individuals
who are already certified stress management professionals. A program called CPD - Continuous Professional Development - invites
stress management professionals to advance their training and be in the know regarding the newest discoveries in the field
that they love so much. The Royal College of Practitioners also does a lot of research on stress management and regularly
disseminates journals to UK's population of certified stress management professionals.
If you live elsewhere in the world, it isn't necessarily harder to get a stress management certification. Check if your country
has recognized stress management as a professional field - if it has, then there is an established system for stress management
certification for you. Medical schools often have diploma courses about, or are at least closely related to, stress management.
What you'll have to make sure of is that you comply with any special restrictions your country might have for offering services
of a stress management nature. An established practitioner near you can help.
Making things easier to get a stress management certification is the International Stress Management Association, which
advances research in every known area of stress management. It also releases a quarterly publication, the "International
Journal of Stress Management," which certified stress management professionals all over the globe subscribe to. How's
that for stress-free reading?
And if that's still not enough, here's something you might not have considered before: Certifications for Stress Management
can be earned online! Yep, the Internet is making the world smaller, and ironically, stress is turning problems into solutions.
Now it's even easier to plot your way to the stress management professional world - all you need to do is surf the Net and
decide which stress management communities you'd like to join. |
