SOS:  From Surviving To Thriving With Stress
Strategies You REALLY Need To Know

THEME:

Stress is a fact of life.  We live in a fast-paced and stressful world and our reactions to the daily stressors can leave us exposed to a variety of illnesses and injuries or can take us away from our life goals.  There are valuable strategies that we can utilize to help us strive for optimal health.  Some strategies we choose actually create more problems than they solve.   This interactive workshop helps us to choose the most effective coping strategies based on the S-O-S Principle^TM that will allow us to quickly bounce back after a stressful situation and minimize negative effects.
