Harnessing your Resilience: Coping Strategies for Anxiety and Stress in Grad School and beyond

Have you ever wondered how to tap into your resilience during challenging times? Imagine a situation where you face a critique of your writing from a supervisor, do not get the grant you were counting on, or have to shift your academic focus because of the realities of the job market. With scenarios such as these in mind, this interactive session will:

•    help create your personal mission statement to keep you focused in the face of adversity,
•    highlight the ways resilience is important in grad school and for your future career,
•    present strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety, and
•    provide action steps for creating your personal roadmap to resilience.

The goal of the workshop is to decrease your stress levels and optimize your well-being as you pursue academic success and your career aspirations.
