Mini Workshops

Let’s Get REAL About Mental Health: Mini Workshops

Stress Strategies & Skills to Build Resilience

We all know what it’s like to have a low mood or to feel distressed. We can experience this on any given day or can sometimes experience this feeling for a week or more. From the executive offices to the mailroom, we all get out of sorts occasionally, and stress can often be the culprit behind our feelings.

In this workshop, participants will build knowledge on mental well-being, learn why self-awareness is so critical, and explore the impact of stigma in the workplace.

We will also discuss the different types of stress and explore helpful coping techniques and strategies for responding to stress that build resilience.

Cultivating Compassion   

It’s been called the secret to well-being and is considered one of the most powerful agents for health. Scientific evidence suggests that giving compassion, receiving compassion, and allowing ourselves to experience self-compassion are all very beneficial to our health. Yet, we may not always know how to support these habits or remember to prioritize them in our daily lives.

In this mini workshop, participants will learn:

• What is compassion?
• The mental health impacts of compassion.
• Strategies for contributing to compassionate workplace cultures.
• How to practice of self-compassion.

Length: 1 or 1.5 hours
