your dreams.

It’s common to turn to quick fixes to cope with life stressors and the demands of college life. Whether it’s doom-scrolling, drinking, vaping, stress-snacking, or gaming, this workshop isn’t about labels or judgment for how you currently cope.

You’ll learn to recognize the underlying emotional needs behind your go-to behaviors and discover healthier, more sustainable ways to cope, regulate stress, and feel more connected.
