To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to recommend the work of Rahla Kahn to
any organization which would like to build esprit while reducing
stress. Rahla has presented several workshops at The Wellness
Community-Westside which she calls "Playshops."
The Wellness Community provides free psychosocial
support to adults with cancer. All of the programs are based on
research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology which indicates that
stress has a direct effect on the immune system.
Miss Kahn's "Playshop" incorporates
humor, non-competitive games, and guided imagery to encourage
participants to play. This, in turn, reduces stress. Our
participants have found the sessions to be great fun, to reduce
inhibitions, to encourage playfulness, and to build a feeling of
community with others in the group.
I believe that others can profit from this type of
work as much as we have.
Sincerely,
Nancy Wileman, MFCC
Program Director
