Overview Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends. If left untreated, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be persistent and disabling. However, effective treatments are available. When delivered in a timely, coordinated, and sustained manner, treatment can help affected individuals to engage in school or work, achieve independence, and enjoy personal relationships.   Reprinting and Reusing NIMH Publications National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) publications are in the public domain and may be reproduced or copied without permission from NIMH.

Working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a rewarding but demanding career. RBTs provide direct one-to-one therapy with clients, often supporting individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities who may engage in challenging behaviors. These responsibilities, combined with high expectations for client progress, extensive data collection, and the emotional demands of caregiving, can contribute to significant stress. Unmanaged stress may lead to burnout, reduced job satisfaction, high turnover rates, and compromised client care. Therefore, stress management is not optional — it is essential for professional resilience, ethical practice, and personal well-being. This course provides RBTs with practical, evidence-based strategies to recognize, manage, and reduce stress. Participants will explore both in-the-moment coping techniques and long-term self-care strategies, practice mindfulness and stress regulation activities, and develop a personalized stress management plan tailored to their unique needs as professionals in the ABA field.   English Disclaimer This training module on Stress Management for RBTs is provided for educational purposes only.
