Recreation- A POWERFUL COPING STRATEGY AMONG WOMEN


Most of us living in poverty are chronic worriers,particularly for women. We need to put food on the table, make sure our children go to school (if we can afford) and many other chores forced upon us.However, at Chindin Home Based Care-SLA www.sloansassociation.org , we are now trying to encourage women to exercise more often--and regularly. Studies have shown that chronic worriers who exercised appeared to be less likely to suffer depressive symptoms than non exercisers, but unfortunately in most communities we live in, we don't have tools for exercising. CHBC-SLA launched a women's netball team to get "women out there to exercise and forget about their worries that are making them unhealthy" Join our group by sponsoring women's netball tournaments with $20 for the annual year women's netball tournament on www.sloansassociation.org (secured papal online donation form)and help women come out of their worries, by exercising more and meet their peers to talk about how they can overcome some of their problems/challenges they face. Thank you
