Alexandria Offers Free Stress Reduction
and Personal Growth Classes

The Alexandria Community Resilience, a FEMAfunded program of the Alexandria Community Services Board, will be offering a free, eight-week stress reduction and personal growth class.

The class focuses on learning mindfulness based techniques for enhancing intentional, objective awareness and psychological flexibility in ways that have been empirically validated as effective means of managing stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, as well as reducing relapse rates of depression.

Participants from previous classes report an improved quality of life as a result of the changes they have made because of the class.

The class will meet every Tuesday beginning May 13 from 6 to 7:30 pm in the fourth floor conference room, 720 N. Saint Asaph.
