This Wednesday at Páirc Uí Rinn in Cork, Minister of State, Kathleen Lynch was scheduled to launch a HSE South and GAA joint initiative to help people deal with stress in their lives.
Starting on Wednesday, January 29th, the HSE South and the GAA clubs in Midleton and St Finbarr’s,Cork will run a ‘Stress Control’ course at each venue for six weeks. This is the first ever sport and healthcare partnership, to help tackle stress in the community, organised in Ireland. Bringing information on stress to the public in their communities at the local GAA club rather than having them attending a health care facility is what makes this course unique. The course is provided free of charge and open to anyone aged over 18 and interested in learning how to manage stress.
Each class will deal with a different topic and will include the causes of stress, skills to control your stress and anxiety and solutions to sleep problems. Classes are very easy to follow and participants are given booklets with explanations on how to control stress at the end of each class so that people can read them at home at their own pace.
People who wish to attend should email their name and contact number to: CorkBeatsStress@hse.ie.
