This time of the semester often brings increased stress and sickness. Luckily, Counseling and Psychological Services can help you create or maintain a balanced lifestyle or just serve as a sounding board about stressors in your life by speaking with a professional. Office visits are $10, but students in need will never be turned away if they are unable to pay.

Looking for practical ways to navigate stress and stay connected to what matters most? Join Braeden Miller, SGA director of health and wellness, for “Cultivating Joy: Building Value-Driven Life Skills,” an interactive workshop grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

The workshop will be from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30 in 262 Rhatigan Student Center, Herrman Room.

Participants will learn strategies for managing difficult thoughts, practicing mindfulness, building resilience and taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of what matters most to them and practical tools they can use to support their wellbeing throughout the semester.
