Wellness Webinar - The Essential Guide to Pelvic Health- OPEN TO ALL WOMEN

The W Connection Women's Wellness  Series

Amy Stein, Doctor of Physical Therapy  

The Essential Guide to Our Pelvic Health 

WHO WE ARE: The W Connection is a national non-profit organization dedicated to widows helping widows rebuild our lives after the life-changing event of losing our life partners. Beyond our sadness and grief, we know first-hand that there are serious challenges and risks that widows face. The W Connection provides our members with a robust set of original programming addressing these risks and challenges, including our physical health.

For decades, health practitioners have employed a stress evaluation tool called The Social Readjustment Stress Scale, which weighs the stress impact of 43 different life events. Also known the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale named for the psychiatrists who designed the test, each life event has a different ‘weight’ score for stress. On a scale of 1 to 100, the only life event that assigns a stress score of 100 is “the loss of a spouse.”

Our Special Women's Health Series is a perfect opportunity for us to extend this education beyond our own community--and we invite our women friends and supporters interested in learning more about improving their own health to join us. This is a wonderful chance for us to extend our passion from Widows Helping Widows to Women Helping Women!
