AN ILLNESS PREVENTION SELF-HELP GROUP
Unfortunately, our culture does not have a preventive medicine mindset. How many people spend money to prevent a disease if they are not yet sick? Yet our future as a species rests on whether we take action to help an obese 12-year-old child who shows no signs of disease. Parents of obese children do not stop and appreciate the fact that their sons and daughters are losing 17 to 27 years of their lives. If there is no diagnosed disease, the alarm bells do not go off.
Anxiety & Stress Relief will assist anyone interested in starting a self-help group in Nassau or Westchester County focused on preventive medicine. Such a group can focus exclusively on helping its members make lifestyle changes to prevent disease and enhance health. Or it can focus as well on increasing public awareness and on preventive medicine issues in the community. Please let me know if you are interested in organizing such a group.
