The stressors experienced by the trainees were analysed and were classified into 3 categories. (1) Physical training and its impact (2) Process and systems of training (3) Social and Psychological stressors. Based on the Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), intervention program was developed that consisted of 14 sessions. To handle stressors effectively, six themes were considered for the intervention program. First session was Ice eaker session, and last session was summing up and closing session. The remaining twelve sessions were conducted as per six themes. Two sessions were conducted per theme. The six themes are (1) Meaning and purpose in training and life (2^nd and 3^rd session) (2) Grit feeling (4^th and 5^th session) (3) Time management (6^th and 7^th session) (4) Resilience (8^th and 9^th session) (5) Forgiveness (10^th and 11^th session) (6) Bullying by seniors (12^th and 13^th session).

Interactive communication, audio–visual clippings dealing with interpersonal conflicts and relationships, role plays, discussions, ain storming sessions, group games, video modelling, reading and analysing of literature, question and answer sessions, introspection of experiences and deiefing sessions were adopted in the intervention program.
