Clearwater, FL - In honor of National On-Line Learning Day on Friday September 15th, the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization (FSO) invites the community to learn more through on-line courses available at https://www.scientology.org/courses/.

"Since 2020, the way people learn has changed dramatically,” said Lisa Mansell from the Public Affairs Department of the Church of Scientology. “In an article posted on Forbes Advisor this past May, about 60% of all postsecondary degree seekers in the U.S. took at least some online classes in 2021. Around 30% studied exclusively online.”

“At the same time, more and more people are looking for practical solutions to the challenges they are facing in life,” said Ms. Mansell. “Scientology offers simple tools that people can study and apply – the courses are available on-line and at no cost.”

The Tools for Life courses utilize discoveries in the fields of personal growth and interpersonal relationships, developed by Scientology Founder and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. One such course takes a look at one of the causes of stress and depression.

"I studied The Cause of Suppression booklet carefully,” said one student. “When I was finished, I was able to identify the causes of suppression in my life with ease. I noticed the benefits within days, even hours! I no longer felt weighed down or held back. I felt better physically and mentally, and felt that I had learned something that would be of great use to me for the rest of my life."

The Cause of Suppression course is just one of the subjects covered in the on-line courses offered by the Church. Other courses include: Solutions for a Dangerous Environment, The Basics of Organizing and The Technology of Study.

The public is welcome to tour the Scientology Information Center in downtown Clearwater Sunday – Friday, 10:30am until 7:00 pm and from 2:00pm until 7:00pm on Saturdays to learn more about Scientology. The Center is located at 500 Cleveland St. and the Center's phone number is (727) 467-6966.
