Break the Cycle of Perfectionism

In the second workshop of our Path to Peace Mental Health Series we will learn about perfectionism. Perfectionism can lead to unrealistic standards and constant self-criticism which may result in feelings of shame and inadequacy when those standards are not attained. This cycle can negatively impact mental health, academic performance, and overall wellbeing. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for fostering a healthier, more supportive environment. Join us Thursday Oct 31st from 2:30-3:30 PM in LBJ room 303 (3-21.2)

Learning to Share Your Space

In the final workshop of our Path to Peace Mental Health Series, we will explore how to share space with roommates. Have you found yourself struggling with living in a shared space? If so, you are not alone! This workshop is designed to provide a brief overview of common difficulties students face when getting acclimated to shared spaces, setting boundaries, and assist students with interacting with and identifying communication styles that may be different from their own. Join us Wednesday November 13th from 11:00AM-12:00PM in LBJ Room 303 (3-21.2)
