Lower your stress the write way

Thursday, May 21 at 6 p.m. — RUTLAND — Join Joanna Tebbs Young, MA-TLA, a certified instructor through the Center for Journal Therapy, for a free writing workshop on Thursday, May 21 from 6-7:30 p.m. Joanna will coach participants through simple writing and doodling exercises that will help participants manage stress and long-term worry. Participation requires neither any prior writing experience nor aspiration to become a writer.

Research shows that writing and journaling can help individuals face difficult challenges with past or present experiences. Expressive writing can help transform our health by lowering blood pressure, improving self-esteem, decreasing the heart rate and much more.

The workshop will be held at the CVPS/Leahy Community Health Education Center at Rutland Regional Medical Center on 160 Allen Street in Rutland. Space is limited. To register, visit www.RRMC.org or call 802-772-2400.
