Workshop: Managing Holiday Stress, Nov. 21

The approaching holiday season brings many expectations. Often this makes people feel like they are being pulled in a hundred different directions. There are office parties to attend, family get-togethers to schedule, children's holiday recitals and gifts to buy. The holidays can be one of the happiest times of the year, yet it can also be one of the most stressful.
