‘DON’T MESS STRESS’ FREE STRESS REDUCTION WORKSHOP

The American Heart Association (AHA) and Senator Sue Serino recently teamed up to launch a unique women’s health initiative—‘Don’t Mess With Stress’—aimed at helping women of all ages beat the stress to improve their heart health.

The program brings a series of workshops to women’s and professional groups throughout the community over the course of the year that aim to help women recognize their signs and symptoms of stress, learn about the long-term health repercussions of unchecked stress and develop a list of simple changes they can make in order to better manage that stress.

Due to interest in and positive response to the program, next Thursday, June 30, 2016, a free workshop will be held for the benefit of the entire community at the Fishkill Town Hall Meeting Room.

The workshop will be run by leading cardiologist Doctor Ronald Tatelbaum, M.D. and Shelley Tatelbaum, M.S., C.G.T, a leading counselor specializing in mindfulness-based stress reduction.

With cardiovascular disease currently representing the leading cause of death worldwide, this initiative aims to raise awareness for the severity of risks associated with the disease and to provide tips and tricks that can easily be incorporated into our everyday lives to improve health and reduce their risk of heart disease.

The event is free and open to the public. Local media is encouraged to attend and groups interested in hosting their own workshop are encouraged to contact Donna Reyer in Senator Serino’s office at 845-229-0106.
