Stress Reduction Program to be offered
FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital will offer a nine-session stress reduction program designed to teach participants practical skills to reduce stress and improve overall health and happiness. Dr. Kathleen Hickey will be the instructor, according to a news release from the hospital.
The course will consist of eight consecutive 2.5- to 3-hour sessions and includes an all-day retreat Saturday, Oct. 24. Participants should be committed to one hour of daily practice and homework to learn and practice mindfulness meditation, Hatha yoga, and body scan.
