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.
