On Tuesday, December 11, 2007 Dr. Antoinette Collarini
Schlossberg and Dr. Harvey Schlossberg were invited guests and
presented a two-hour seminar at the New York offices of the U.S.
Secret Service for a group of 200 Secret Service Agents. The
seminar, entitled “Identifying and Managing Stress,” was requested
by the Secret Service in recognition and understanding that agents’
duties, particularly during the presidential campaign, increase the
amount of stress they experience. Recognizing the pressures of the
intense and responsible work that criminal justice agencies perform
is a major step forward and should be an example for other criminal
justice agencies.
