Program:
The Art of Managing Anxiety
Speaker: Reverend John Brown

Approximately 8% of children and teenagers experience an anxiety disorder with most people developing symptoms before age 21. The World Health Organization states that 1 in 13 globally suffers from anxiety. What are some of the causes of this issue and what are the various ways of treating anxiety? Dr. John G. Brown will address this issue using the video "Let Go" as part of his presentation followed by a facilitated conversation about the film and questions and answers. The film, Let Go, was produced right here in Vero Beach from a Community Action Grant we received from AAUW National.

Dr. Brown is a retired United Methodist minister, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and retired faculty member of the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.

Special Feature: Let Go, the film
produced by AAUW Vero Beach

Message from Our Board

So much has happened in the last four months. Now we look forward to monthly fundraisers...

March 28th is our first-ever Senior Expo. Read more about it in this edition.

April 12th is our second annual Mah Jong event for Playing the New Card. We'll discuss that further in our next Hotline.

These fundraisers, as you know, help women and girls in Indian River County reach their potential through our donations to organizations that support them in various ways, especially in scholarships.

Between these fundraisers we have exciting branch meetings, Book Review Breakfasts and Public Policy events. So read this Hotline carefully, sign up for the events and be prepared for the whirlwind of activities that only "Season" can bring!
