What Is Stress?
STRESS: a SITUATION where the PROBLEMS we face SEEM TO US to be BIGGER than WE ARE
- for MORE than a SHORT TIME.
This situation causes us to feel anxiety and tension, then possibly depression, and eventually it can make us ill.
What Can We Do?
- Take RESPONSIBILITY for our stress levels.
- ASSESS our situation.
- REDUCE what stresses we can.
- STRENGTHEN ourselves to become more equal to the problems we face.

About Dr. Rainham
Dr. Dave Rainham has been a a Family Physician in Ontario, Canada for 39 years. Early in his career he noticed the obvious fact that:
- Stress, anxiety and depression are major reasons why people visit doctors.
- Stress interferes with healthy habits
- It plays a part in every serious illness, and
- It destroys lasting happiness
It is also obvious that childhood abuse and neglect plays a huge role in illness, chronic pain, addictions and depression.
As a result, Dr. Rainham created Optimum Health Resources to distribute a wide variety of simple, practical, multimedia resources on stress, coping and illness, for both public and professionals.
He has also co-founded ‘Action For Children’ a foundation dedicated to the abolition of child abuse in all its forms.

Information is available:
- In different degrees of detail, from pamphlets, to books, to large manuals
