Free Program To Help Berlin Seniors Cope With Stress

BERLIN, CT — 'Tis the season to be ... stressed?

The Berlin Senior Center on Tuesday is hosting a free special program for those 60 and older on how to manage the stress in their lives, a condition, experts say, can be as bad a health hazard as smoking.

It will take place at the senior center, located at 33 Colonial Drive, Berlin, from 1 to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26.

The center is hosting Yale University School of Medicine graduate Dr. Wendy Hurwitz, who is a nationally recognized expert on stress.

"A former medical researcher for ABC News, Dr. Hurwitz is an expert in two fields: Mind/Body Medicine and Energy Medicine," wrote Hurwitz in an announcement.

With a forthcoming book on stress, Hurwitz helps organizations and individuals achieve peak performance by enhancing vitality and wellness.

"She translates the latest and most sophisticated scientific research into practical, easy-to-use techniques people can use to maintain and enhance vitality even under the most trying circumstances," reads the announcement.

Hurwitz has provided training for AT&T, Unilever, Lowe Worldwide, and the FDNY, and has been a guest speaker at the United Nations.
