Stress is a normal response to situational pressures or demands and is part of our everyday lives. How we do or do not respond to those stressors will determine whether we have a relatively healthy life, or potentially become burdened with illness and disease. During this session we will discuss the role stress and stress hormones play in our body, and the impact prolonged stress can have on our overall health and wellness.

Many of us feel overwhelmed by competing work and family demands. This session will help participants identify their key work/life stressors, clarify their values, and develop skills and strategies to effectively prioritize their time and energy. Facilitator: Homewood Health Register today!
