Are you Blue? Charla sobre Depresión Invernal (By Latinos in Skokie)

Well, most of us are, and I am not talking about politics here! Feeling down is a natural emotional reaction most of us have to shorter days and less sun exposure during winter. Learn some practical strategies for how to cope with the Winter Blues. Latinos in Skokie has invited Prof. Merari Fernández (Staff Therapist at Womencare Counseling Center) to provide a talk on this issue, and we will also have the opportunity to meet people from the community and share ideas.

Con la llegada del invierno, el frío y las primeras gotas de lluvia, es lógico que algunas personas sufran el llamado ‘trastorno afectivo estacional’. Este trastorno viene determinado principalmente por la falta de luz solar y la disminución de horas de exposición al sol.  Latinos in Skokie, invita a la comunidad a la Reunión General de LIS, seguida por la Charla sobre Depresión Invernal, a cargo de la Profesora Merari Fernández (Staff Therapist at Womencare Counseling Center).
