How does one prepare teachers to reduce the stress of the students?
I am doing an intervention to reduce stress in university students around the exam period. After researching it was found that teaching students to plan and manage their work load reduces stress levels. A lecture on reducing stress and management of work load would be what I would recommend.
We did a study on stress management of students (Esch T, Sonntag U, Esch SM, Thees S: Stress Management and Mind-Body Medicine: A Randomized Controlled Longitudinal Evaluation of Students’ Health and Effects of a Behavioral Group Intervention at a Middle-Size German University (SM-MESH). Forschende Komplementärmedizin 2013; 20 (2): 129–137; doi: 10.1159/000350671). And we have experience with it for almost 10 years. My suggestion for the teacher preparation really is: Have your own practice and experience in stress management! Whether it is with mindfulness-based or mind-body medicine-based or other cognitive behavioral or psychological approaches is less important than the effect that you really have to do it!

I believe stress management for student should have the scientific discipline ,a good get work of observation from the parents & it becomes also a responsiblity of teacher who remains in close proximity with the student so that he can make the necessary hints & guideline so that student may remain atleast with comforts .
Stress starts from the worries,disturbance ,irritation & tension of the mind of student.Students may have certain disturbing element of sensitivity behavior & emotion approach instead of keeping inthe mind parents should extend their co-operation with friendly manner & teachers should review the progress of his study & other mode of behavior as the part of their duty as teachers .
In this i have only expressed my views .
