Practical help for overcoming worry given at Lifetree Café

Practical suggestions for dealing with worry will be offered at Lifetree Café at noon Monday, Dec. 5.

The program, titled, “Overcoming Worry: Practical Help, Simple Solutions,” features a filmed interview with Cheryl Eresman, a clinical counselor, as well as a screening of the short film, “God Box”.

“Anxiety can actually cause health problems,” Eresman says. “Worry can cause blood pressure problems, lower your immunity to disease, and result in ulcers. It can actually physically hurt you.”

During the program, participants will explore coping mechanisms that help fight anxiety.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Kokanee Coffee, 509 N. Fifth, Sandpoint.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Angela Reese at 208-597-7831.
