Stress course for women

The Peninsula Women's Health Centre will be running a group for women on "managing stress" in April and May.

Health education worker Ms Kate Bradfield said the group aimed to teach skills for relaxation and reducing the effects of stress in a relaxed and informal environment.

"We will look at how the ability to relax helps us to remain healthy, as well as having a positive effect on our relationships," Ms Bradfield said.

"The group includes a combination of muscle relaxation exercises, meditation, visualisation, correct breathing and self-talk.

"These are tools which may be used throughout life, to help us improve and live our lives more effectively and peacefully."

The group starts on Thursday, April 26, and finishes on Thursday, May 31, each Thursday from 10am to noon.

The cost is a coin donation.

Bookings are essential and can be made by telephoning the centre on 4342 5905.
