Dr. Dave Rainham has been a Family Physician in Waterloo, Ontario, for 39 years and the founder of www.stresswinner.com.
Early in his career he found that:
Stress, anxiety and depression are major reasons why people visit doctors. The majority of his patients with unpleasant and sometimes frightening symptoms had no specific disease but were suffering from anxiety and tension resulting from a wide variety of stresses. Stress interferes with healthy habits It plays a part in every serious illness, and It destroys lasting happiness
It also became 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.
Helping patients manage stress was a major part of his family medical practice. He began by just teaching relaxation techniques, then developed a simple model of stress that makes it easy to remember and practise the many strategies we can use to take control of our reactions to life's problems.
He expanded a one page summary of all the basic ideas into a 20 page booklet, “Winning your Battle with Stress”, a 70 page book, 'StressWinner' and a 256 page book 'Stress 101' as well as audio versions and a 2 hour video workshop.
He has also adapted the basic ideas in books for various groups of people:
For Students: "Stressed Out", "Taking Control of Student Stress","Kids Have Stress Too!"
For Workplace Stress, “The Stress of Working”, Sales, Customer Service, Middle Management“
For various Occupations: The Stress of Nursing”, (Plus Teaching, Law. Medicine, Farming and Accounting)
For various Situations such as aging and parents "Getting Older, Growing Stronger", "The Stress of Parenting Toddlers" - and Teens.

He has contributed to magazines and radio and for five years wrote a weekly newspaper column. In his spare time, Dr. Rainham has created Stress and Life Management programs for employers to make available to their employees, a manual of stress for Teachers and a Teaching Guide for High School Students.
His materials are used by individuals and corporations across the country and he regularly speaks and trains employers in the techniques of preventative stress management.
