Relief for holiday stress offered in seminar
Sometimes the holidays are more bleary than cheery — quibbling,
overeating, and physical sickness often result.
To help prevent holiday stress and depression, Advanced
Psychological Services is sponsoring a free seminar titled "Seven
Ways To Beat The Holiday Blues."
Clinical psychologists Jeanne Young and Randi Riffkind will
teach people how to cope with the stress and depression that
accompany the holiday season.
The seminar will be held Tuesday, November 25 at 7:30 p.m. in
West Los Angeles at 10801 National Blvd., Suite 240. For more
information or to reserve a seat, call 310-535-1345.

Center’s rare books library.
