Upcoming workshop will offer multiple ways to destress

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on January 6, 2026.

What Matters to Hatters is partnering with Recovery Alberta to host a free stress workshop at the Medicine Hat Public Library this weekend.

The D-Stress Workshop includes a discussion about stress, how to recognize personal stress times and a discussion of coping skills and strategies that will introduce participants to tools they can use to mitigate stress in their daily life.

Participants will also create a personalized stress reduction action plan.

The event is free, but spaces are limited, so interested Hatters are encouraged to register online. The registration form is available on the What Matters to Hatters Coalition Facebook page, or on the Medicine Hat Public Library website.

The workshop will take place from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10 in the library’s Legion Room.
