Counseling For L.I.F.E. - "To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of our times." ~ Thomas Merton S.O.S. Workshops:Stressed Out Society These workshops, also known as SAVE OUR SOCIETY, can be adapted to any group or organizational team and grew out of a request by school counselors to help their students with the increasing amount of stress they are confronted with on and off campus. Upon further investigation it became evident that stress is not just a student issue, it affects the entire school, including its staff. It actually goes beyond schools. It has become a much broader societal epidemic, effecting any group, especially those in the helping professions. In the past year Ms. Kindell, along with the CFL staff, have presented this useful, practical and entertaining workshop to the school counselors of Hayes ISD, Eanes ISD, the Austin YWCA & the staff & counselors of Lifeworks and counselors who were inspired and hope to translate the S.O.S. Workbook for their Spanish speaking clients soon! Sabrina with Anita Jung LPC, Division Director and her staff at Lifeworks

Stressed Out Society
