It can be useful for individuals experiencing job-related stress to become informed about stress as well as the emotional and behavioral responses that often accompany it. This can help people realize that their feelings and problems are often shared by many individuals in various types of careers. People can find information on stress on the Internet and in various books available at libraries or book stores.

Many large companies in the United States offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that help employees and family members to deal with issues involving workplace conflict, substance abuse, mental health, relationships and other issues that can affect job performance. These services typically educate individuals about mental health and how to cope with stress as well as ways to help prevent emotional disorders or mental illnesses.

Support groups, which provide members with emotional and moral support, can also offer individuals practical advice and tips for coping with job-related stress. Health care professionals, such as physicians (e.g., psychiatrists), nurses, social workers or  psychologists may be able to provide referrals for support groups.
