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.

 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:

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.
