Reducing Stress At Home And Office

On May 18, the Family Counseling Center, in partnership with The Taunton Press, is presenting a workshop for Newtown employees as part of an educational series called Learn@Lunch. The program is open to any person working in Newtown.

The inaugural presentation will be on “Reducing Stress at Home and Office” and will focus on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with advice on proper nutrition, exercise, relaxation techniques, managing and resolving work conflicts, healthy assertiveness, and that all-important positive attitude.

The Family Counseling Center and The Taunton Press recognize that hardworking business people have many sources of stress — and that is just on the business side. Learn@Lunch is designed to give employees an opportunity to relieve areas of stress on the job as well as in their personal and family life. The program was developed following a poll of 289 Newtown businesses.

The 60-minute program starts at noon on Wednesday, May 18, at The Taunton Press building at 63 Main Street South and lunch is included. Seating will be limited to 30 people and those wishing to attend should contact Kevin Roche at the Family Counseling Center at 426-8103, extension 789, by May 11.

The Taunton Press serves a growing market of home design, home-building, gardening, cooking, fiber, and woodworking enthusiasts. Since 1975, Taunton has created magazines, books, and videos that reflect the shared passion of its staff, authors, and readers.

The Family Counseling Center, now in its 22nd year in Newtown, is a nonprofit, licensed, outpatient, psychiatric clinic providing counseling, support groups, education, and referral services throughout greater Danbury and Southbury. Its mission is to deliver quality mental health services to enable children, families, couples, and individuals achieve their highest potential regardless of the ability to pay.
