Handling Holiday Stress • The holidays, ideally a time of peace, joy, love and connection with friends and family, will soon be here. If you are like many people, the very thought of all of the preparations you need to make is already making you feel somewhat stressed. Each year many of us repeatedly promise ourselves that this year we will “keep it simple,” but the illusion that we can somehow pull off “perfect” occasions once again overtakes us. Learn how to manage the stressful moments and guidelines. | Where: St. Francis Heart Center, Community Center, 8111 S. Emerson Ave. | When: Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. | Info: Registration required: call 782-4422 or register online at StFrancisHospitals.org/heart.
