Experts will teach residents how to reduce stress, improve heart health
Poughkeepsie, NY… With cardiovascular disease remaining the leading cause of death worldwide, affecting 1 in 20 adults over the age of 20, Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino is partnering with the American Heart Association (AHA) to host two, free “Don’t Mess with Stress” workshops in October. These workshops will give residents practical tools to better manage daily stress and support their health. View the event flyer.
“Stress is something we all experience, and too often we brush it aside.” said Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino, “These workshops are more than sharing information – they’re a chance to slow down, connect, and learn simple, practical ways to manage stress. Sometimes taking a moment for yourself is the best thing you can do – and it can end up making a difference not just for you, but for the people who count on you too.”
Each workshop will be led by Shelley Tatelbaum, M.S., C.G.T., a grief and stress reduction therapist and Ronald Tatelbaum, M.D., a retired cardiologist. Each session will explore what stress is, the mind-body connection, the impact of untreated stress, and practical tools that empower you to overcome your stress.
Residents are invited to attend either of the free workshops. Registration is required and is available online at www.dutchessny.gov/StressEvent
Workshop Schedule:
- Thursday October 9th | 11 AM- 1 PM, FDR Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Educational Center, 4079 Albany Post Rd, Hyde Park
- Tuesday October 21st | 5:30- 7:30 PM, Wappinger Town Hall 20. Middlebush Rd, Wappingers Falls
Dutchess County remains committed to supporting residents’ health and well-being by raising awareness about the risks associated with heart disease and practical strategies to protect heart health. Serino first launched the Don’t Mess with Stress initiative during her time in the New York State Senate to empower individuals to better handle the stress of everyday life.
