Stress is difficult to avoid. Whether it’s work or family life, stress touches each of us on a daily basis. But, what’s important is how stress is managed. Now is the time to enroll in Daily Steps to Less Stress, offered at City Hospital and Jefferson Memorial Hospital through Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Preventive Health Alliance.
Daily Steps to Less StressSM  is a 6-week lifestyle improvement program that helps you recognize stress and its origins and provides tools and techniques to combat daily stress. You will understand how to incorporate stress management techniques into your daily life. This classroom-based, group program is led by a Highmark-trained behavioral health specialist. The program offers a variety of useful information, from how stress affects physical health and emotions to how one interacts with the world and others around them.
