Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed as the semester hits the halfway point?

Join us for a practical wellness workshop designed to help you understand motivation and create strategies for getting unstuck.

💡We’ll explore how dopamine influences motivation, focus, and reward, and how quick-gratification habits can sometimes make it harder to stay focused on our long-term goals. Then, you’ll create your own personalized Dopamine Menu: a list of simple, enjoyable activities you can turn to when you need a quick mood boost, a reset, or a little extra motivation.

September is Su***de Awareness & Prevention Month, a time to learn how we can support ourselves, our friends, classmates, and our community🩵

Join us for QPR Su***de Prevention Training to learn how to recognize warning signs, start a conversation, and connect someone to support.

Just like CPR prepares you to respond to a medical emergency, QPR gives you the tools to respond when someone may be experiencing a mental health crisis.

You don’t have to be a mental health professional to make a difference. Anyone can be the person someone needs
