STRESSED OUT? TRY A LITLE HUMOR
“Humor helps,” says Carol Moore, a Peninsula Regional Medical Center nurse who has taken her show on the road across America, teaching those who are feeling the stress of everyday life how to laugh and lift their burdens.
Carol will speak at the Ocean Pines branch of the Worcester County Public Library on Thursday, May 29, at 7:00 p.m. Her talk, “Handling Stress the Good Humor Way,” is sponsored by the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund and the Worcester County Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program. It is open to the general public and free of charge, and there will be door prizes.
The Klump Fund’s suicide prevention work focuses largely on identifying the warning signs of mental distress and suicide in time to get the person at risk to professional help. “If there is a common denominator among those who are considering suicide as the only way to end their anguish, it’s depression,” said Fund Officer Ron Pilling. “By asking Carol to speak as part of our prevention programs, we aren’t suggesting that one can laugh away major depressive disorder, but we do know that a bit of humor can help ease everyday blues.”

Carol Moore’s talk is made possible by the generosity of the Peninsula Regional Medical Center Speakers Bureau.
