Mind/Body Stress Management Program for Parents of Behaviorally Challenging Children

Wednesday mornings, Feb 4 to March 18, 2009


You are invited to register for a 6-week program designed for parents of children with behavioral challenges. Join us to learn ways to strengthen skills that can build your resiliency and protect you against the daily stresses of parenting.

What?
This six-week program brings the Benson-Henry Institute's successful mind/body/spirit approach to parents of children with behavioral challenges. The program can help you create a sense of balance for you and your family, using practical strategies for stress management, easily applied relaxation methods, and positive thinking techniques.

TThis program will be run by Laura Malloy, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), who has dedicated over a decade to working with families of behaviorally challenging children. Ms. Malloy is also a certified Kripalu yoga teacher and teaches stress reduction to groups and individuals at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
