Event Details

 Being staff, faculty, post-docs, TAs, or anyone who works on campus and is called upon to help others can be challenging on a good day.  This program provides navigation for the stormier days as we move forward into the next semester and beyond.

In our work, we are called upon to be thoughtful and caring of others especially when others struggle.  In our ever-changing work world, the struggles others are managing can often be the same struggles we are managing.  In this ongoing time of significant world and workplace change, we can find ourselves caring for others while also having to care for ourselves.

This interactive program shares practical ideas and tools to have and use to help with managing the changing world we all now inhabit.  While the changing world has provided opportunities for positive change, there are also losses and significant ongoing challenges.

This program focuses on capitalizing on our positives, so we can best care for ourselves while also caring for others.  This program takes an identities-based, mental health focus.  

Participants can choose to join this session in person or via Zoom.
