The Secrets of Stress Management
Stress is the friction that helps us learn and grow in life, but there are both good and bad kinds of stress. Dr. Nigel Lester, Director of Mental Health at PALM Health, will explore some of the simple strategies, coping mechanisms, and tools that can — if applied correctly and made part of our daily routine — profoundly impact how we experience and manage the stress in our lives. He will introduce PALM’s Stress Management Program and how it can aid in the pursuit of intelligent stress management.
Strengthening Connections and Social Bonds
Relationships are fundamental to a well-lived life. In fact, social relationships are one of the pillars of lifestyle medicine, an evidence-based approach that addresses the root causes of disease with changes in lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, sleep, social connectivity, and stress management. In this webinar with Julie Geeting, Coaching and Counseling Lead at PALM Health, you’ll discover more about the ways in which people are connected to others and ways you can care for and strengthen your own relationships.
Managing Stress in Challenging Times
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, it may be time to delve deeper into your mental health to reclaim your well-being. Join Dr. Nigel Lester, psychiatrist and Director of Mental Health at PALM Health, for a short webinar and info session about managing stress. Dr. Lester will share a 10-minute overview of our new InSight assessment and plan, which helps participants learn more about themselves, their ability to manage stress, and their current lifestyle choices that may be interfering with their resilience to life’s challenges. There will be a brief question and answer session at the end of the webinar.
