| We, as humans, are born with the capacity to develop a belief system. As children, we didn’t have the opportunity to choose our beliefs, but we “agreed” with the information that was passed to us from the beliefs of others we were exposed to. Of course, as we grow older, we can have our belief systems challenged. We can then become depressed, or angry and certainly at times, unhappy. This workshop will show you ways in which you can become aware of your beliefs, possibly make some positive changes and subsequently feel happier and more at peace—all of which you certainly deserve. |

Do you worry to the point that your thoughts and fears have a negative impact on your academic performance or relationships? Have you experienced excessive muscle tension, stress-related headaches, or difficulty sleeping? If so, learning relaxation skills could be a great way to improve results in your day-to-day life, and to improve your general sense of health and well-being. This workshop will present an overview of strategies that have been found to improve relaxation.
Participants will have the opportunity to practice a relaxation technique that many students have found helpful for improving test-taking, social situations, and their ability to enjoy leisure time activities. |

| It’s not unusual for stress at college to lead to feeling overloaded and down. But when “feeling down” lasts for weeks, and starts interfering with academic or social functioning, it may be depression that a student is dealing with. This workshop will address how to recognize depression, different types of depression, biological aspects, why a person can’t make it go away by an act of will, what can be done about it, and how to find help for one’s self or a friend. |

Unfortunately, many of us go through life neglecting ourselves. Why do some of us criticize ourselves with such ease? For some, these negative thoughts are like being on automatic pilot. How do we learn to distrust ourselves?
How can negative and positive self-trust influence our lives? How can self-trust be built and maintained? With daily awareness of how we treat ourselves and daily nurturing, we can slowly build our self-trust. These and other questions will be explored as a group and you will learn how you can rebuild your self-trust and self-respect. |

Human relationships help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future – and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
Advancement of technology has dramatically influenced the way that we develop and maintain personal and social relationships. The concept of “connectedness” has taken on a much broader meaning that may include person-to-person contact, or global interaction via electronic media. This workshop will explore core concepts of relationship–building; these skills are applicable to the most complex type of interpersonal relationships. |
