Personal Health Improvement Program (PHIP)

Did you know that physical symptoms such as headache, chronic pain and even heart disease can be related to everyday stress and moods? Many people often don't feel as well as they would like, even though they follow their doctor's instructions.

If you've been feeling ongoing stress, pain or discomfort and think it's about time you feel better, then PHIP may be the answer for you. PHIP is a program available at no additional cost to HIP members.

PHIP consists of six weekly classes that meet one day a week. Each class lasts for two hours and can be taken in a classroom or from home. PHIP is not group therapy. Instead, it is a course that provides education through lectures, discussions, group exercises, and home learning to help develop students' understanding of their own "mind-body" connection and ways to deal with everyday stressors.

Please read the PHIP brochure to learn more about the program and decide if it is right for you. To enroll, please call 1-888-794-7447, extension 120. You can also visit the PHIP Web site for additional information at www.mertech.org/PHIP/Consumer.
