Free Stress Management program for teens! Is Stress sucking the joy out of your life? When someone tells you high school years are the best years of your life do you want to scream? Consider checking out our StressRx for Teens. Step 1: Call AnneMarie Cox at the Granby YSB (860) 844-5355 to set up the first of two individual sessions where you will learn about the physical and cognitive roots of stress and anxiety, and begin learning some tools and techniques to help you feel more relaxed and able to effectively deal with the demands of your life. Step 2: Return for your second individual session to expand on the techniques you are learning, and take a look at the stress triggers in your life. You will evaluate what is causing the stress, identify what if anything you can control or change, and build the techniques you have learned around the identified triggers. Step 3: Consider joining the weekly drop in relaxation and meditation session offered every Monday night from 7 to 9 PM at the YSB. Refresh your coping skills, join in a guided relaxation exercise (called a meditation for the crunchy folks, like AnneMarie) or just hang out in a peaceful setting (think mellow music, soft lights, soothing scents) and do some homework…… This is a drop in, come when you want, bring a friend, no obligation to attend evening. Using Cognitive Behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills as well as time management and priority setting, you will develop skills to be more in control of the stress you experience. .
