Relief Society Health and Wellness Conference

The event kicked off with two very informative presentations on investment and wealth creation. All in attendance learned about the stellar performance of the Jamaica Stock Exchange and were encouraged to invest in order to build and create a secure future for themselves and their families.

Presentations were also made on Women’s Health and Mental Health including activities such as the stress test and tips to reduce and manage the difficulties of everyday life. Participants were reminded that mental health affects everyone and that it is necessary for one’s over all wellbeing.

All activities came to close with speakers presenting on physical health and conflict resolution. The ladies in attendance were encouraged to eat a balanced diet including fresh fruits and vegetables as well as to exercise on a regular basis. Strategies for dealing with conflicts were also discussed.

The event was well supported and many reported having learned much that they could take away; that wellness is “ a state of complete mental, physical, social and emotional wellbeing and not just the absence of disease or infirmity”
