| Eating, Moving and Sleeping
 Eat less. Move more. Reduce your stress and stop smoking. I've said quite a bit lately about how health and wellness is related to more than these four bedrock components of most wellness programs. Even so, there's plenty of evidence to suggest our behavioral and relational health might have just as much, if not more, influence on our overall health and well-being than just these four. That being said, I don't want to give the impression these four aren't important. On the contrary, one of the first things mental health professionals ask a person on intake are questions about changes in diet, weight and sleeping patterns. These things do matter because the body and mind are very close neighbors. That's one of the reasons I found Eat Move Sleep by Tom Rath so intriguing and helpful. Tom is a #1 New York Times bestselling author (See Strengths Finder 2.0), who does an masterful job of bringing together some of the best research available on each of these three areas. A book like this could be dull as dust to read, but Tom actually takes one idea for each of these areas and compiles them into 30 short chapters. It's the kind of thing you can easily read one chapter a day for a month. Even if you choose to do just a few of the things Tom suggests, you'll definitely be taking a step forward health wise. |

| Anger Management - October 2
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems. Problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. It can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This course will help you lean to identify alternative and practical skills to cope with anger issues, and move toward a better life.
Love & Logic Parenting - October 6 & 16
Based on the highly successful Love and Logic parenting concept, parents in this workshop will focus on communication and consequences, while working through behavioral issues in an effective and loving way. These skills are easy to communicate in difficult moments with children of all ages.
The Hatching Project - October 13
There is a lot to do before your baby arrives - diapers, cribs... and relationship advice? You better believe it! Baby proofing doesn't just apply to your house, it also applies to your relationship. The arrival of a baby can bring a lot of new challenges that not only affect the relationship between you and your child, but also between you and your partner.
Hitched & Happy - October 15
Hitched and Happy is for all couples: married, engaged or seriously dating. This isn't therapy; it's a fun, skills-based program to learn useful communication, conflict management and problem-solving skills.
