Dear Students and Parents, 

JTHS students are invited to attend an in-person workshop designed to provide stress and anxiety coping techniques. The event takes place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, December 12 at the Galowich YMCA, 749 Houbolt Road in Joliet, and is anticipated to be an hour or an hour and a half in length. There is no cost to attend, and students must pre-register HERE.
 
Stress and anxiety can affect your focus, memory, and learning. During this engaging workshop, Dr. Michael Smith, a naturopathic physician and board-certified biofeedback trainer, will help teens and young adults learn ways to treat the causes of their stress and become more resilient to those stressors.
 
Attendees will learn:
• How to identify common stressors, fears and worries
• How they respond to stress and the role their nervous 
  system plays in their stress and anxiety 
• Mind-Body Medicine and Biofeedback techniques that 
  work to help relieve stress and anxiety 
 
This event is made possible thanks to the YMCA Teen Achievers partnership. More information about the Teen Achievers program is HERE. To view the Stress and Anxiety event flyer, click HERE.
