(Torrington, WY October 21, 2002) A free workshop entitled Creating a Personal Balance, will be presented from 12:00 - 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 30 in Rooms 131-132, at Eastern Wyoming College. Jean Beyer, PhD., M.S., R.N., who holds a masters degree in guidance and counseling from UNO and a doctorate in community and human resources from UNL, will be the presenter. She is a provost emeritus from Methodist College, whose humorous and motivational style, as well as education and life experiences will create energy and vision for those that hear her.
The workshop will identify five commonly used defense mechanisms that block coping ability; review Maslow?s Hierarchy of Needs Theory; discuss how anxiety, isolation and anger affect the health of body, mind, and spirit, including what breaks and heals a heart; review five basic human relations skills; explore a strategy for personal reflection, mediation and serenity; and discussion of the impact that adaptive resilience and vitality have on success.
The workshop is sponsored by EWC and the EWC Adult Peer Counselor Program in conjunction with Lincoln Elementary Parent Council, Even Start, Torrington Head Start, and Community Hospital. A free luncheon will be served to participants.
