Discover Stress Solutions: The Canadian Institute of Stress

Welcome to the Canadian Institute of Stress, a pioneering organization dedicated to understanding, addressing, and alleviating the impact of stress on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Established with a commitment to advancing the field of stress management, our institute stands as a beacon of knowledge, support, and empowerment.

Our History

Since its founding in 1976, the Hans Selye Foundation has continued to lead in integrating academic and practitioners’ “big picture” understandings of the stressful challenges of “Man Adapting” in a “Future Shock” world. For the past 37 years, applied research at Dr. Selye’s Canadian Institute of Stress has translated resulting Foundation insights into evidence-based tools and know-how evaluated and refined in clinics and corporations internationally. Web-based training, certification and ongoing collaboration with our SWC(c) graduates globally has, since 2003, accelerated our scientific evaluation of solutions warranted to bear the Selye name..
