It’s Not Just You: How Seattle University Students Cope with Stress, Anxiety and Inattention

Thursday, Jan. 19, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Join via Zoom (additional information below)

Please encourage students to attend this workshop.

As a student, do you wonder how to lessen your stress, feelings of overwhelm or how to improve your attention? There are small and impactful practices that can help you.  In fact, regularly practicing short evidence-based mental techniques (“micro-strategies”) has been shown to help with focus, lower stress levels, and increase positive and helpful behaviors.  

This workshop will offer eight micro-strategies along with the opportunity to silently practice each technique for a minute or two. You can then choose the one or two skills that seem like the best fit for you.  

Dr. Rachel Turow, a faculty member in the Psychology Department, will guide you through these practices. She teaches three “science and practice” classes at Seattle University, in which students explore research regarding behaviors to promote well-being and simultaneously implement the strategies in their own lives. As part of this workshop, she will share SU students’ reflections from her courses (anonymously, and with their permission) about the personal impact of the mental practices that they learn. 

Dr. Turow is also the author of The Self-Talk Workout: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Dissolve Self-Criticism and Transform the Voice in Your Head (Shambhala Publications).  Please also see her opinion piece about this important work, recently published in Inside Higher Ed.
